Acurx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Stock Forecast
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)

Red day on Friday for Acurx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. stock after losing 3.83%
(Updated on May 24, 2024)
The Acurx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. stock price fell by -3.83% on the last day (Friday, 24th May 2024) from $2.61 to $2.51. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 5.18% from a day low at $2.51 to a day high of $2.64. The price has risen in 5 of the last 10 days and is up by 23.65% over the past 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day along with the stock, which is actually a good sign as volume should follow the stock. On the last day, the trading volume fell by -7 thousand shares and in total, 35 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $88.25 thousand.
The stock lies the upper part of a very wide and falling 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 $2.75 will firstly indicate a slower falling rate, but may be the first sign of a trend shift. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to fall -21.32% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $1.02 and $2.17 at the end of this 3-month period. Do note, that if the stock price manages to stay at current levels or higher, our prediction target will start to change positively over the next few days as the conditions for the current predictions will be broken.

ACXP Signals & Forecast
The Acurx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 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 $2.44 and $2.09. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. 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. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Tuesday, May 21, 2024, and so far it has fallen -10.04%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Volume fell along with the price during the last trading day which is technical positive. One should, however, note that this stock may have low liquidity in periods, which increases the general risk. The very low volume increases the risk and reduces the other technical signals issued.
Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Acurx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. stock
On the downside, the stock finds support just below today's level from accumulated volume at $2.25 and $2.11. 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, Acurx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. finds support just below today's level at $2.25. If this is broken, then the next support from accumulated volume will be at $2.11 and $2.09.

Our recommended stop-loss: $2.37 (-5.55%) (This stock has high daily movements and this gives high risk. There is a sell signal from a pivot top found 29 days ago.)
Trading Expectations (ACXP) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Tuesday 28th
For the upcoming trading day on Tuesday, 28th we expect Acurx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. to open at $2.55, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $2.32 and $2.70, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.190 (+/-7.56%) up or down from last closing price. If Acurx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 15.12% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $2.55 (1.59%) than the support at $2.25 (10.36%), 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.
