Afya Limited Stock Forecast
Afya Limited stock price up 3.16% on Friday
(Updated on May 03, 2024)
The Afya Limited stock price gained 3.16% on the last trading day (Friday, 3rd May 2024), rising from $17.42 to $17.97. It has now gained 3 days in a row. It will be exciting to see whether it manages to continue gaining or take a minor break for the next few days. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 2.36% from a day low at $17.58 to a day high of $17.99. The price has risen in 8 of the last 10 days and is up by 12.17% over the past 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day by -4 thousand shares and in total, 76 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $1.36 million. You should take into consideration that falling volume on higher prices causes divergence and may be an early warning about possible changes over the next couple of days.
The stock lies in the middle of a very wide and falling trend in the short term and further fall within the trend is signaled. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to fall -18.77% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $12.43 and $15.69 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.

AFYA Signals & Forecast
A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Friday, April 19, 2024, and so far it has risen 12.17%. 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 Afya Limited 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 $18.19. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the short-term average at $17.59. 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 during the last trading day while the price increased. This causes a divergence and may be considered as an early warning, but it may also not.
Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Afya Limited stock
Afya Limited finds support from accumulated volume at $17.92 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.

Our recommended stop-loss: $17.38 (-3.26%) (This stock has medium daily movements and this gives medium risk. There is a buy signal from a pivot bottom found 10 days ago.)
Trading Expectations (AFYA) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 6th
For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 6th we expect Afya Limited to open at $17.85, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $17.43 and $18.51, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.543 (+/-3.02%) up or down from last closing price. If Afya Limited takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 6.04% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the support from accumulated volume at $17.92 (0.28%) than the resistance at $20.29 (12.91%), our systems sees the trading risk/reward intra-day as attractive and believe profit can be made before the stock reaches first resistance..
