It will be exciting to see whether it manages to continue gaining or take a minor break for the next few days. During the day the stock fluctuated 4.67% from a day low at $19.92 to a day high of $20.85. The price has fallen in 8 of the last 10 days and is down by -15.26% for this period.

On Jan 20, 2022 "Jefferies Financial Group" gave "$20.00 - $25.00" rating for F. The price target was changed from $22.25 to 0.9%.

The stock lies in the lower part of a very wide and strong rising trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good buying opportunity. If the lower trend floor at $19.65 is broken, it will firstly indicate a slower rate of rising, but may also be an early warning for a trend shift.Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to rise 14.78% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $22.55 and $29.59 at the end of this 3-month period.

A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Friday, January 28, 2022, and so far it has risen 5.73%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Volume is rising along with the price. This is considered to be a good technical signal. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The Ford Motor stock holds a buy signal from the short-term moving average; at the same time, however, the long-term average holds a general sell signal. Since the longterm average is above the short-term average there is a general sell signal in the stock giving a more negative forecast for the stock. On further gains, the stock will meet resistance from the long-term moving average at $21.56. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the short-term average at $20.05. A break-up through the long-term average will give another buy signal, while a fall below the short-term average will add another sell signal and strengthen the general signal. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD).

On the downside, the stock finds support just below today's level from accumulated volume at $19.55 and $19.42.There is natural risk involved when a stock is testing a support level, since if this is broken, the stock then may fall to the next support level. In this case, Ford Motor finds support just below today's level at $19.55. If this is broken, then the next support from accumulated volume will be at $19.42 and $19.36.

This stock may move much during the day (volatility) and with a large prediction interval from the Bollinger Band this stock is considered to be "high risk". During the last day, the stock moved $0.93 between high and low, or 4.67%. For the last week, the stock has had a daily average volatility of 5.37%.

Ford Motor holds several positive signals, but we still don't find these to be enough for a buy candidate. At the current level, it should be considered as a hold candidate (hold or accumulate) in this position whilst awaiting further development.We have upgraded our analysis conclusion for this stock since the last evaluation from a Sell to a Hold/Accumulate candidate.
