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.

Stronger technical forecast for HOKKO CHEMICAL INDUSTRY CO.,LTD. stock price after Thursday trading.
(Updated on May 02, 2024)

Buy or Hold candidate since Feb 05, 2024 Gain 52.34% PDF

The HOKKO CHEMICAL INDUSTRY CO.,LTD. stock price gained 4.31% on the last trading day (Thursday, 2nd May 2024), rising from JP¥1,532.00 to JP¥1,598.00. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 7.76% from a day low at JP¥1,533.00 to a day high of JP¥1,652.00. The price has risen in 7 of the last 10 days and is up by 9.98% 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, 385 thousand more shares were traded than the day before. In total, 502 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately JP¥801.40 million.

The stock lies in the upper part of a wide and 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¥1,615.45 will firstly indicate a stronger rate of rising. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to rise 46.07% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between JP¥2,129.22 and JP¥2,359.75 at the end of this 3-month period.
