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)

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.

Weaker technical forecast for KODEX Japan as stock downgraded to Hold/Accumulate.
(Updated on May 10, 2024)

Buy or Hold candidate since May 09, 2024 Loss -0.05% PDF

The KODEX Japan stock price fell by -0.0487% on the last day (Friday, 10th May 2024) from ₩20,520.00 to ₩20,510.00. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 1.24% from a day low at ₩20,500.00 to a day high of ₩20,755.00. The price has fallen in 6 of the last 10 days and is down by -0.89% for this period. Volume fell on the last day along with the stock, which is actually a good sign as volume should follow the stock. On the last day, the trading volume fell by -11 thousand shares and in total, 8 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately ₩154.93 million.

The stock is at the lower part of a horizontal trend in the short term, and normally this may pose a good buying opportunity, though a breakdown through the bottom trend line at ₩20,212.90 will give a strong sell signal and a trend shift may be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect KODEX Japan stock with a 90% probability to be traded between ₩20,594.82 and ₩22,180.28 at the end of this 3-month period. A break of a horizontal trend is often followed by a large increase in the volume, and stocks seldom manage to go directly from the bottom of a trend up to the top. Stocks turning up in the middle of a horizontal trend are therefore considered to be potential runners.

101280.KS Signals & Forecast

There are mixed signals in the stock today. The KODEX Japan 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 ₩20,687.86 and ₩20,904.43. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. Volume fell together with the price during the last trading day and this reduces the overall risk as volume should follow the price movements. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Monday, April 29, 2024, and so far it has risen 1.71%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD).

Trading Expectations (101280.KS) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 13th

For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 13th we expect KODEX Japan to open at ₩20,588.33, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between ₩20,136.63 and ₩20,883.37, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-₩373.37 (+/-1.82%) up or down from last closing price. If KODEX Japan takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 3.64% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the support from accumulated volume at ₩20,480.00 (0.15%) than the resistance at ₩21,000.00 (2.39%), our systems sees the trading risk/reward intra-day as attractive and believe profit can be made before the stock reaches first resistance..
