Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. Stock Forecast
Green day on Friday for Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. stock after gaining 0.449%
(Updated on May 03, 2024)
The Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. stock price gained 0.449% on the last trading day (Friday, 3rd May 2024), rising from $8.90 to $8.94. It has now gained 3 days in a row. It will be exciting to see whether it manages to continue gaining or take a minor break for the next few days. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 2.58% from a day low at $8.91 to a day high of $9.14. The price has risen in 7 of the last 10 days and is up by 9.42% over the past 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day by -2 million shares and in total, 2 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $18.55 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 $9.07 will firstly indicate a stronger rate of rising. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to rise 8.06% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $8.62 and $9.81 at the end of this 3-month period.

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.

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.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. stock
On the downside, the stock finds support just below today's level from accumulated volume at $8.15 and $7.93. There is a natural risk involved when a stock is testing a support level, since if this is broken, the stock then may fall to the next support level. In this case, Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. finds support just below today's level at $8.15. If this is broken, then the next support from accumulated volume will be at $7.93 and $7.90.
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 $0.230 between high and low, or 2.58%. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 3.00%.
The Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. stock is overbought on RSI14 and lies in the upper part of the trend. Normally this may pose a good selling opportunity for the short-term trader, but some stocks may go long and hard while being overbought and the RSI is still moving upwards. Regardless, the high RSI together with the trend position increases the risk and higher daily movements (volatility) should be expected. A correction down in the nearby future seems very likely, and it is of great importance that the stock manages to break the trend before that occurs.
Our recommended stop-loss: $8.68 (-2.96%) (This stock has medium daily movements and this gives medium risk. The RSI14 is 79 and this increases the risk substantially. There is a buy signal from a pivot bottom found 13 days ago.)
