Ampco-Pittsburgh Corporation stock upgraded from Strong Sell Candidate to Sell Candidate after Thursday trading session.
(Updated on Mar 28, 2024)
The Ampco-Pittsburgh Corporation stock price gained 2.84% on the last trading day (Thursday, 28th Mar 2024), rising from $2.11 to $2.17. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 3.86% from a day low at $2.16 to a day high of $2.24. The price has been going up and down for this period, and there has been a -13.2% loss for the last 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day by -45 thousand shares and in total, 41 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $89.92 thousand. 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 of a very wide and falling trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good buying opportunity. If the lower trend floor at $2.11 is broken, it will firstly indicate a stronger fall rate. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to fall -7.19% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $1.96 and $2.55 at the end of this 3-month period.

AP Signals & Forecast
A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Wednesday, March 27, 2024, and so far it has risen 2.84%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The Ampco-Pittsburgh Corporation 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 $2.39 and $2.47. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. 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 not be. The very low volume increases the risk and reduces the other technical signals issued.
Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Ampco-Pittsburgh Corporation stock
Ampco-Pittsburgh Corporation finds support from accumulated volume at $2.11 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.

Trading Expectations (AP) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 1st
For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 1st we expect Ampco-Pittsburgh Corporation to open at $2.19, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $2.02 and $2.32, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.154 (+/-7.11%) up or down from last closing price. If Ampco-Pittsburgh Corporation takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 14.21% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $2.20 (1.38%) than the support at $2.11 (2.76%), 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 Ampco-Pittsburgh Corporation stock A Buy?
Ampco-Pittsburgh Corporation holds several negative signals and is within a very wide 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. We have upgraded our analysis conclusion for this stock since the last evaluation from a Strong Sell to a Sell candidate.
