Amedisys Inc Stock Forecast
Amedisys Inc stock downgraded to Strong Sell Candidate
(Updated on Apr 17, 2024)
The Amedisys Inc stock price fell by -0.318% on the last day (Wednesday, 17th Apr 2024) from $91.25 to $90.96. It has now fallen 4 days in a row. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 1.12% from a day low at $90.77 to a day high of $91.79. The price has fallen in 7 of the last 10 days and is down by -1.79% for this period. Volume fell on the last day along with the stock, which is actually a good sign as volume should follow the stock. On the last day, the trading volume fell by -97 thousand shares and in total, 304 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $27.66 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 ($91.04) are considered to be a "second chance" to get out. According to the fan-theory $89.49 will represent the new bottom line of the next trend, but it is far too early to say this for certain.

AMED Signals & Forecast
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 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 $91.82 and $92.59. 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 -3.75%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Volume fell together with the price during the last trading day and this reduces the overall risk as volume should follow the price movements.
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 Thursday 18th
For the upcoming trading day on Thursday, 18th we expect Amedisys Inc to open at $91.17, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $90.09 and $91.83, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.87 (+/-0.96%) up or down from last closing price. If Amedisys Inc takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 1.92% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
With no support below and resistance from accumulated volume @ $93.02, some $2.06 (2.26%) from the current price of $90.96, our system finds the risk reward not very attractive.
Is Amedisys Inc stock A Buy?
Amedisys Inc holds several negative signals and is within a narrow and falling trend, so we believe it will still perform weakly in the next couple of days or weeks. We therefore hold a negative evaluation of this stock. Due to some small weaknesses in the technical picture we have downgraded our analysis conclusion for this stock since the last evaluation from a Sell to a Strong Sell candidate.
