(Updated on May 09, 2024)

AFSIN Signals & Forecast

A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Friday, May 03, 2024, and so far it has risen 1.33%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The AmTrust Financial Services, Inc. stock holds sell signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a more negative forecast for the stock. Also, there is a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average. On corrections up, there will be some resistance from the lines at $13.00 and $13.15. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). AmTrust Financial Services, Inc. gained volume on the last day, but on falling prices. In technical terms, this is called divergence and may be an early warning. In some cases, increasing volume on falling prices may be considered positive, but that is mainly in typical "sell-offs". The very low volume increases the risk and reduces the other technical signals issued.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for AmTrust Financial Services, Inc. stock

AmTrust Financial Services, Inc. finds support from accumulated volume at $12.81 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.

Trading Expectations (AFSIN) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Friday 10th

For the upcoming trading day on Friday, 10th we expect AmTrust Financial Services, Inc. to open at $12.88, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $12.74 and $13.22, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.236 (+/-1.81%) up or down from last closing price. If AmTrust Financial Services, Inc. takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 3.63% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $13.05 (0.54%) than the support at $12.81 (1.31%), 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 AmTrust Financial Services, Inc. stock A Buy?

AmTrust Financial Services, Inc. holds several negative signals and this should be a sell candidate, but due to the general chance for a turnaround situation it should be considered as a hold candidate (hold or accumulate) in this position whilst awaiting further development.

Current score: 0.000 Hold/Accumulate Unchanged

Zero in score indicates that our system is expecting high volatility and risk for the following trading day. Given the latest developments, we cannot determine the next direction as it may go both ways.
