Esker SA 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)
Live Samples:
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.

Green day on Friday for Esker SA
(Updated on May 03, 2024)
The Esker SA stock price gained 2.28% on the last trading day (Friday, 3rd May 2024), rising from 175.10€ to 179.10€. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 3.03% from a day low at 175.10€ to a day high of 180.40€. The price has risen in 6 of the last 10 days but is still down by -0.56% for this period. Volume fell on the last day by -4 thousand shares and in total, 8 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately 1.46€ 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 lower part of a wide and strong rising trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good buying opportunity. If the lower trend floor at 175.65€ is broken, it will firstly indicate a slower rate of rising, but may also be an early warning for a trend shift. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to rise 20.18% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between 211.10€ and 238.30€ at the end of this 3-month period.

ALESK.PA Signals & Forecast
There are few to no technical positive signals at the moment. The Esker SA 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 181.57€. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the short-term average at 178.37€. 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. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Tuesday, April 09, 2024, and so far it has fallen -5.24%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). 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.

Esker SA finds support from accumulated volume at 177.40€ and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.

Trading Expectations (ALESK.PA) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 6th
For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 6th we expect Esker SA to open at 178.20€, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between 173.97€ and 184.23€, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-5.13€ (+/-2.87%) up or down from last closing price. If Esker SA takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 5.73% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at 180.00€ (0.50%) than the support at 177.40€ (0.95%), 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.
