WESCO International Inc Stock Forecast
Green day on Friday for WESCO International Inc stock after gaining 1.71%
(Updated on May 17, 2024)
The WESCO International Inc stock price gained 1.71% on the last trading day (Friday, 17th May 2024), rising from $181.93 to $185.05. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 2.34% from a day low at $181.44 to a day high of $185.68. The price has risen in 8 of the last 10 days and is up by 10.35% over the past 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day by -305 thousand shares and in total, 721 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $133.49 million. You should take into consideration that falling volume on higher prices causes divergence and may be an early warning about possible changes over the next couple of days.
The stock lies in the upper part of a wide and strong rising trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good selling opportunity for the short-term trader as reaction back towards the lower part of the trend can be expected. A break-up at the top trend line at $187.09 will firstly indicate a stronger rate of rising. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to rise 14.74% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $181.05 and $214.66 at the end of this 3-month period.

WCC Signals & Forecast
The WESCO International Inc stock holds buy signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a positive forecast for the stock. Also, there is a general buy signal from the relation between the two signals where the short-term average is above the long-term average. On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at $180.26 and $167.20. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Volume fell during the last trading day despite gaining prices. This causes a divergence between volume and price and it may be an early warning. The stock should be watched closely. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Wednesday, May 15, 2024, and so far it has fallen -0.676%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found.
Support, Risk & Stop-loss for WESCO International Inc stock
On the downside, the stock finds support just below today's level from accumulated volume at $173.68 and $165.08.

Our recommended stop-loss: $178.94 (-3.30%) (This stock has high daily movements and this gives high risk. There is a sell signal from a pivot top found 2 days ago.)
Trading Expectations (WCC) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 20th
For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 20th we expect WESCO International Inc to open at $184.06, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $179.83 and $190.27, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$5.22 (+/-2.82%) up or down from last closing price. If WESCO International Inc takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 5.64% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $186.31 (0.68%) than the support at $173.68 (6.14%), our systems don't find the trading risk/reward intra-day attractive and any bets should be held until the stock is closer to the support level.
