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.

ASKUL Corporation stock price up 0.94% on Friday
(Updated on Apr 26, 2024)

Buy or Hold candidate since Mar 26, 2024 Gain 10.76% PDF

The ASKUL Corporation stock price gained 0.94% on the last trading day (Friday, 26th Apr 2024), rising from JP¥2,345.00 to JP¥2,367.00. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 2.68% from a day low at JP¥2,310.00 to a day high of JP¥2,372.00. The price has risen in 7 of the last 10 days and is up by 2.2% over the past 2 weeks. Volume has increased on the last day along with the price, which is a positive technical sign, and, in total, 48 thousand more shares were traded than the day before. In total, 213 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately JP¥504.64 million.

The stock lies in the upper part of a strong rising trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good selling opportunity for the short-term trader as reaction back towards the lower part of the trend can be expected. A break-up at the top trend line at JP¥2,393.62 will firstly indicate a stronger rate of rising. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to rise 19.16% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between JP¥2,625.37 and JP¥2,852.26 at the end of this 3-month period.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for ASKUL Corporation stock

On the downside, the stock finds support just below today's level from accumulated volume at JP¥2,200.00 and JP¥2,125.00. 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, ASKUL Corporation finds support just below today's level at JP¥2,200.00. If this is broken, then the next support from accumulated volume will be at JP¥2,125.00 and JP¥2,026.00.

This stock is usually traded at a good volume, and with minor daily changes, the risk is considered to be low. During the last day, the stock moved JP¥62.00 (2.68%) between high and low. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 2.35%.

Our recommended stop-loss: JP¥2,275.36 (-3.87%) (This stock has low daily movements and this gives low risk. There is a sell signal from a pivot top found 2 days ago.)

Trading Expectations (2678.T) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Tuesday 30th

For the upcoming trading day on Tuesday, 30th we expect ASKUL Corporation to open at JP¥2,349.67, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between JP¥2,312.91 and JP¥2,421.09, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-JP¥54.09 (+/-2.29%) up or down from last closing price. If ASKUL Corporation takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 4.57% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at JP¥2,368.00 (0.04%) than the support at JP¥2,200.00 (7.06%), 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.
