Explanation to Bollinger's Bands

Bollinger Bands was created by John Bollinger in the early 1980s, its purpose is to define price action relative to the assets highs and lows. This technical indicator is used to identify buy and sell signals and has proven very well in doing so.

Bollinger Bands consist of a set of three curves drawn in relation to securities prices. The middle band is a measure of the intermediate-term trend, usually a simple moving average, that serves as the base for the upper and lower bands. The interval between the upper and lower bands and the middle band is determined by volatility, typically the standard deviation of the same data that were used for the average. StockInvest.us uses Bollingers suggested 20 day average.

Middle Bollinger Band = 20-period simple moving average
Upper Bollinger Band = Middle Bollinger Band + 2 * 20-period standard deviation
Lower Bollinger Band = Middle Bollinger Band - 2 * 20-period standard deviation

BandWidth defines the current width of the band.
%b defines the current position within the band.

BandWidth = (Upper Bollinger Band - Lower Bollinger Band) / Middle Bollinger Band
%b = (Last - Lower Bollinger Band) / (Upper Bollinger Band - Lower Bollinger Band)

Bollinger Bottleneck Buy Pattern 2

Bottlenecks in bandwidth indicate an upcoming change. Break up through the moving average line or continuous movements above the moving average line indicate a break up, and vice versa.

0598.HK Signals & Forecast

The Sinotrans Limited stock holds a sell signal from the short-term Moving Average; at the same time, however, there is a buy signal from the long-term average. Since the short-term average is above the long-term average there is a general buy signal in the stock giving a positive forecast for the stock. On further gains, the stock will meet resistance from the short-term Moving Average at approximately HK$4.43. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the long-term average at approximately HK$4.06. A break-up through the short-term average will send a buy signal, whereas a breakdown through the long-term average will send a sell signal. 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 Tuesday, May 14, 2024, and so far it has fallen -7.07%. 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.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Sinotrans Limited stock

On the downside, the stock finds support just below today's level from accumulated volume at HK$3.97 and HK$3.88. There is a 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, Sinotrans Limited finds support just below today's level at HK$3.97. If this is broken, then the next support from accumulated volume will be at HK$3.88 and HK$3.77.

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 HK$0.190 between high and low, or 4.44%. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 6.02%.

Our recommended stop-loss: HK$4.12 (-5.00%) (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 (0598.HK) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 20th

For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 20th we expect Sinotrans Limited to open at HK$4.36, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between HK$4.13 and HK$4.55, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-HK$0.208 (+/-4.80%) up or down from last closing price. If Sinotrans Limited takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 9.60% 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$4.45 (2.53%) than the support at HK$3.97 (8.53%), 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.

Is Sinotrans Limited stock A Buy?

Sinotrans Limited holds several negative signals and this should be a sell candidate, but due to the general chance for a turnaround situation it should be considered as a hold candidate (hold or accumulate) in this position whilst awaiting further development. Due to some small weaknesses in the technical picture we have downgraded our analysis conclusion for this stock since the last evaluation from a Buy to a Hold/Accumulate candidate.
