2388.HK Signals & Forecast

The BOC Hong Kong (Holdings) 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$24.33 and HK$22.83. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Tuesday, April 16, 2024, and so far it has risen 11.78%. 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). Volume is rising along with the price. This is considered to be a good technical signal.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for BOC Hong Kong (Holdings) Limited stock

On the downside, the stock finds support just below today's level from accumulated volume at HK$22.95 and HK$22.45. 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, BOC Hong Kong (Holdings) Limited finds support just below today's level at HK$22.95. If this is broken, then the next support from accumulated volume will be at HK$22.45 and HK$21.05.

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 HK$1.00 between high and low, or 4.13%. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 1.99%.

The BOC Hong Kong (Holdings) Limited stock is overbought on RSI14 and lies in the upper part of the trend. Normally this may pose a good selling opportunity for the short-term trader, but some stocks may go long and hard while being overbought. Regardless, the high RSI together with the trend position increases the risk and higher daily movements (volatility) should be expected. A correction down in the nearby future seems very likely and it is of great importance that the stock manages to break the trend before that occurs.

Our recommended stop-loss: HK$24.00 (-4.55%) (This stock has medium daily movements and this gives medium risk. The RSI14 is 87 and this increases the risk substantially. There is a buy signal from a pivot bottom found 17 days ago.)
