AltaGas Ltd. Stock Forecast

AltaGas Ltd. stock downgraded from Buy Candidate to Hold/Accumulate after Monday trading session.
(Updated on May 06, 2024)

ALA.TO Signals & Forecast

The AltaGas Ltd. stock holds a sell signal from the short-term Moving Average; at the same time, however, there is a buy signal from the long-term average. Since the short-term average is above the long-term average there is a general buy signal in the stock giving a positive forecast for the stock. On further gains, the stock will meet resistance from the short-term Moving Average at approximately $30.25. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the long-term average at approximately $29.61. A break-up through the short-term average will send a buy signal, whereas a breakdown through the long-term average will send a sell signal. 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 Thursday, May 02, 2024, and so far it has fallen -0.658%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Volume rose on falling prices yesterday. This may be an early warning and the stock should be followed more closely.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for AltaGas Ltd. stock

AltaGas Ltd. finds support from accumulated volume at $29.30 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.

In general the stock tends to have very controlled movements and with good liquidity the risk is considered very low in this stock. During the last day, the stock moved $0.450 between high and low, or 1.49%. For the last week the stock has had daily average volatility of 1.86%.

Our recommended stop-loss: $29.37 (-2.74%) (This stock has low daily movements and this gives low risk. There is a sell signal from a pivot top found 2 days ago.)

Trading Expectations (ALA.TO) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Tuesday 7th

For the upcoming trading day on Tuesday, 7th we expect AltaGas Ltd. to open at $30.30, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $29.74 and $30.66, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.456 (+/-1.51%) up or down from last closing price. If AltaGas Ltd. takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 3.02% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $30.36 (0.53%) than the support at $29.30 (2.98%), 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 AltaGas Ltd. stock A Buy?

AltaGas Ltd. holds several positive signals, but we still don't find these to be enough for a buy candidate. At the current level, it should be considered as a hold candidate (hold or accumulate) in this position whilst awaiting further development. Due to some small weaknesses in the technical picture we have downgraded our analysis conclusion for this stock since the last evaluation from a Buy to a Hold/Accumulate candidate.

Current score: 0.292 Hold/Accumulate Downgraded
