Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Aberforth Smaller Companies Trust plc stock

On the downside, the stock finds support just below today's level from accumulated volume at £1,366.00 and £1,356.00. 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, Aberforth Smaller Companies Trust plc finds support just below today's level at £1,366.00. If this is broken, then the next support from accumulated volume will be at £1,356.00 and £1,346.00.

This stock is usually traded at a good volume, and with minor daily changes, the risk is considered to be low. During the last day, the stock moved £22.00 (1.52%) between high and low. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 1.33%.

The Aberforth Smaller Companies Trust plc 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. 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: £1,417.33 (-3.32%) (This stock has low daily movements and this gives low risk. The RSI14 is 84 and this increases the risk substantially. There is a buy signal from a pivot bottom found 56 days ago.)
