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.

4403.T Signals & Forecast

A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Monday, April 01, 2024, and so far it has risen 4.66%. 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). Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The NOF CORPORATION stock holds a buy signal from the short-term Moving Average; at the same time, however, the long-term average holds a general sell signal. Since the longterm average is above the short-term average there is a general sell signal in the stock giving a more negative forecast for the stock. On further gains, the stock will meet resistance from the long-term Moving Average at JP¥3,361.81. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the short-term average at JP¥2,102.57. A break-up through the long-term average will give another buy signal, while a fall below the short-term average will add another sell signal and strengthen the general signal. Volume fell together with the price during the last trading day and this reduces the overall risk as volume should follow the price movements.

Trading Expectations (4403.T) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Tuesday 7th

For the upcoming trading day on Tuesday, 7th we expect NOF CORPORATION to open at JP¥2,123.00, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between JP¥2,008.52 and JP¥2,234.48, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-JP¥112.98 (+/-5.33%) up or down from last closing price. If NOF CORPORATION takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 10.65% 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¥2,127.00 (0.26%) than the support at JP¥2,042.50 (3.72%), 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.
