0293.HK Signals & Forecast

The Cathay Pacific Airways Limited 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 HK$8.63 and HK$8.41. 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 Monday, May 13, 2024, and so far it has fallen -1.36%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. The stock had a Golden Star Signal on Wednesday, January 31, 2024 in the long-term chart.

Golden Star Signal is when the short-term moving average, the long-term moving average, and price line meet in a special combination. This combination is very rare and often followed by long and strong gains for the stock in question.

Trading Expectations (0293.HK) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 20th

For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 20th we expect Cathay Pacific Airways Limited to open at HK$8.72, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between HK$8.52 and HK$8.84, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-HK$0.156 (+/-1.80%) up or down from last closing price. If Cathay Pacific Airways Limited takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 3.60% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at HK$8.80 (1.38%) than the support at HK$8.49 (2.19%), 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.
