Is Intel stock still a buy after falling -26.06% on Friday?

The Intel stock price fell by -26.06% on the last day (Friday, 2nd Aug 2024) from $29.05 to $21.48. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 7.64% from a day low at $20.42 to a day high of $21.98. The price has fallen in 7 of the last 10 days and is down by -34.87% for this period. Volume has increased on the last day by 212 million shares but on falling prices. This may be an early warning and the risk will be increased slightly over the next couple of days. In total, 297 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $6.37 billion.

On Aug 02, 2024, it was reported that New Street gave INTC a "Neutral" grade with a "downgrade" action.

Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to rise 3.20% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $22.17 and $36.19 at the end of this 3-month period.

There are few to no technical positive signals at the moment. The Intel stock holds sell signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a more negative forecast for the stock. Also, there is a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average. On corrections up, there will be some resistance from the lines at $29.24 and $31.66. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Thursday, July 18, 2024, and so far it has fallen -38.40%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Volume rose on falling prices yesterday. This may be an early warning and the stock should be followed more closely.

There is no support from accumulated volume below today's level and given the right condition the stock may perform very badly in the next couple of days.

This stock has average movements during the day and with good trading volume, the risk is considered to be medium. During the last day, the stock moved $1.56 between high and low, or 7.64%. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 4.22%.

Intel is oversold on RSI14 (11). Some stocks may fall long and hard while being oversold on RSI, but stocks that are heavily oversold on RSI often pose good re-bounce chance and played well it can be a buy candidate.

The Intel stock holds several negative signals and despite the positive trend, we believe Intel will perform weakly in the next couple of days or weeks. Therefore, we hold a negative evaluation of this stock.
