AVA Signals & Forecast

The Avista Corporation stock holds a sell signal from the short-term Moving Average; at the same time, however, there is a buy signal from the long-term average. Since the short-term average is above the long-term average there is a general buy signal in the stock giving a positive forecast for the stock. On further gains, the stock will meet resistance from the short-term Moving Average at approximately $41.27. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the long-term average at approximately $38.78. A break-up through the short-term average will send a buy signal, whereas a breakdown through the long-term average will send a sell signal. 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. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Tuesday, November 11, 2025, and so far it has fallen -2.22%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Volume rose on falling prices yesterday. This may be an early warning and the stock should be followed more closely.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Avista Corporation stock

On the downside, the stock finds support just below today's level from accumulated volume at $38.27 and $36.41. 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, Avista Corporation finds support just below today's level at $38.27. If this is broken, then the next support from accumulated volume will be at $36.41 and $36.36.

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 $0.410 between high and low, or 1.00%. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 1.30%.

Our recommended stop-loss: $39.57 (-3.33%) (This stock has medium daily movements and this gives medium risk. There is a sell signal from a pivot top found 4 days ago.)

Trading Expectations (AVA) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Tuesday 18th

For the upcoming trading day on Tuesday, 18th we expect Avista Corporation to open at $41.05, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $40.62 and $41.24, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.624 (+/-1.54%) up or down from last closing price. If Avista Corporation takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 1.54% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $41.11 (0.44%) than the support at $38.27 (6.50%), 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.
