Amedisys Inc Stock Forecast
Red day on Friday for Amedisys Inc stock after losing 0.419%
(Updated on Apr 19, 2024)
The Amedisys Inc stock price fell by -0.419% on the last day (Friday, 19th Apr 2024) from $90.78 to $90.40. It has now fallen 6 days in a row. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 0.708% from a day low at $90.34 to a day high of $90.98. The price has fallen in 8 of the last 10 days and is down by -2.48% for this period. Volume has increased on the last day by 145 thousand shares but on falling prices. This may be an early warning and the risk will be increased slightly over the next couple of days. In total, 368 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $33.23 million.
The stock has broken the narrow and falling short-term trend down. Firstly a stronger fallrate is indicated, but false breaks and "sell-off" may occur. However, a further fall is realistic and any reactions back to the breaking point ($90.81) are considered to be a "second chance" to get out. According to the fan-theory $89.24 will represent the new bottom line of the next trend, but it is far too early to say this for certain.

AMED Signals & Forecast
There are few to no technical positive signals at the moment. The Amedisys 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 $91.27 and $92.43. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Thursday, February 22, 2024, and so far it has fallen -4.34%. 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 rose on falling prices yesterday. This may be an early warning and the stock should be followed more closely.
Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Amedisys Inc stock
There is no support from accumulated volume below today's level and given the right condition the stock may perform very badly in the next couple of days.

Trading Expectations (AMED) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 22nd
For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 22nd we expect Amedisys Inc to open at $90.57, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $89.55 and $91.25, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.85 (+/-0.93%) up or down from last closing price.
