Astrotech Corporation Stock Forecast
Explanation to Bollinger's Bands
Bollinger Bands was created by John Bollinger in the early 1980s, its purpose is to define price action relative to the assets highs and lows. This technical indicator is used to identify buy and sell signals and has proven very well in doing so.
Bollinger Bands consist of a set of three curves drawn in relation to securities prices. The middle band is a measure of the intermediate-term trend, usually a simple moving average, that serves as the base for the upper and lower bands. The interval between the upper and lower bands and the middle band is determined by volatility, typically the standard deviation of the same data that were used for the average. StockInvest.us uses Bollingers suggested 20 day average.
Middle Bollinger Band = 20-period simple moving average
Upper Bollinger Band = Middle Bollinger Band + 2 * 20-period standard deviation
Lower Bollinger Band = Middle Bollinger Band - 2 * 20-period standard deviation
BandWidth defines the current width of the band.
%b defines the current position within the band.
BandWidth = (Upper Bollinger Band - Lower Bollinger Band) / Middle Bollinger Band
%b = (Last - Lower Bollinger Band) / (Upper Bollinger Band - Lower Bollinger Band)
Live Samples:
Bottlenecks in bandwidth indicate an upcoming change. Break up through the moving average line or continuous movements above the moving average line indicate a break up, and vice versa.

Astrotech Corporation stock upgraded from Sell Candidate to Hold/Accumulate after Tuesday trading session.
(Updated on Jul 02, 2024)
The Astrotech Corporation stock price fell by -2.42% on the last day (Tuesday, 2nd Jul 2024) from $9.09 to $8.87. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 1.13% from a day low at $8.87 to a day high of $8.97. The price has risen in 5 of the last 10 days but is still down by -3.88% for this period. Volume has increased on the last day by 27 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, 666 shares were bought and sold for approximately $5.91 thousand.
The stock lies in the lower of a wide and falling trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good buying opportunity. If the lower trend floor at $8.75 is broken, it will firstly indicate a stronger fall rate. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to fall -4.14% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $8.39 and $9.41 at the end of this 3-month period.

ASTC Signals & Forecast
A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Thursday, June 13, 2024, and so far it has risen 0.452%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. 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 Astrotech 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 $9.02 and $9.27. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. Astrotech Corporation gained volume on the last day, but on falling prices. In technical terms, this is called divergence and may be an early warning. In some cases, increasing volume on falling prices may be considered positive, but that is mainly in typical "sell-offs". The very low volume increases the risk and reduces the other technical signals issued.
