About Chart
Golden Star
The Golden Star is a refined bullish signal based on the Golden Cross, developed by Jim Stromberg, incorporating additional time frame-specific moving averages and precise price line crossings. This signal is effective for liquid stocks, highlighting short-term upward momentum.
Death Star
The Death Star, developed by Jim Stromberg, is the bearish counterpart to the Golden Star, serving as a sell signal. It is triggered by specific moving average crossings on the price line, indicating a likely prolonged decline in the stock.
Golden Cross
The Golden Cross is a bullish signal where the short-term moving average crosses above the long-term moving average, indicating potential upward momentum.

Pivot Bottom
A Pivot Bottom is a significant low point identified by algorithms developed by StockInvest.us. While it may indicate a short-term directional change, it does not necessarily imply a complete trend reversal. Pivot Bottoms are marked as green circles on the price line.
Pivot Top
A Pivot Top represents a significant high point identified by algorithms developed by StockInvest.us. Similar to Pivot Bottoms, it may suggest a short-term directional change within the main trend, rather than a full trend reversal. Pivot Tops are marked as red circles on the price line.
RSI Oversold
RSI oversold indicates that a stock has declined significantly and may be undervalued, potentially presenting a buying opportunity. This condition is marked by a green line on the chart but should be confirmed with other indicators before taking action.
RSI Overbought

On Friday, Alkermes plc stock price gained an impressive 5.63%
(Updated on Oct 11, 2024)
Buy candidate since Oct 11, 2024
The Alkermes plc stock price gained 5.63% on the last trading day (Friday, 11th Oct 2024), rising from $27.37 to $28.91. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 6.01% from a day low at $27.29 to a day high of $28.93. The price has risen in 6 of the last 10 days and is up by 5.01% over the past 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day by -130 thousand shares and in total, 2 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $51.86 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 upper part of a wide and weak rising 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 $29.29 will firstly indicate a stronger rate of rising. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to rise 9.77% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $28.47 and $32.15 at the end of this 3-month period.
ALKS Signals & Forecast
The Alkermes plc 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 $27.87 and $27.77. 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). Volume fell during the last trading day despite gaining prices. This causes a divergence between volume and price and it may be an early warning. The stock should be watched closely. 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 Wednesday, October 02, 2024, and so far it has fallen -0.310%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found.
Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Alkermes plc stock
Alkermes plc finds support from accumulated volume at $28.55 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.
This stock has average movements during the day and with good trading volume, the risk is considered to be medium. During the last day, the stock moved $1.64 between high and low, or 6.01%. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 4.73%.
Our recommended stop-loss: $27.90 (-3.50%) (This stock has medium daily movements and this gives medium risk. There is a sell signal from a pivot top found 7 days ago.)
Trading Expectations (ALKS) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 14th
For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 14th we expect Alkermes plc to open at $28.38, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $27.92 and $29.90, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.99 (+/-3.43%) up or down from last closing price. If Alkermes plc takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 6.86% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $28.97 (0.21%) than the support at $28.55 (1.25%), 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.
