4452.T Signals & Forecast

There are mixed signals in the stock today. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Friday, May 10, 2024, and so far it has fallen -0.89%. 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). The Kao Corporation 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 JP¥6,721.14 and JP¥6,217.77. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. Volume fell during the last trading day despite gaining prices. This causes a divergence between volume and price and it may be an early warning. The stock should be watched closely. The stock had a Golden Star Signal on Thursday, March 28, 2024 in the short-term chart.

Golden Star Signal is when the short-term moving average, the long-term moving average, and price line meet in a special combination. This combination is very rare and often followed by long and strong gains for the stock in question.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Kao Corporation stock

On the downside, the stock finds support just below today's level from accumulated volume at JP¥6,156.00 and JP¥6,099.00. 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, Kao Corporation finds support just below today's level at JP¥6,156.00. If this is broken, then the next support from accumulated volume will be at JP¥6,099.00 and JP¥5,712.00.

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 JP¥165.00 between high and low, or 2.43%. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 2.70%.

The Kao Corporation stock is overbought on RSI14 and the RSI has been falling for the last couple of days. This together with the fact that the stock is in the upper part of the trend poses a possible good selling opportunity for the short-term trader. However, one should note that 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: JP¥6,655.45 (-3.22%) (This stock has medium daily movements and this gives medium risk. The RSI14 is 80 and this increases the risk substantially. There is a sell signal from a pivot top found 2 days ago.)

Trading Expectations (4452.T) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Wednesday 15th

For the upcoming trading day on Wednesday, 15th we expect Kao Corporation to open at JP¥6,883.33, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between JP¥6,739.02 and JP¥7,014.98, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-JP¥137.98 (+/-2.01%) up or down from last closing price. If Kao Corporation takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 4.01% 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¥6,939.00 (0.90%) than the support at JP¥6,156.00 (10.48%), 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 Kao Corporation stock A Buy?

Several short-term signals, along with a general good trend, are positive and we conclude that the current level may hold a buying opportunity as there is a fair chance for Kao Corporation stock to perform well in the short-term.
