BAC Signals & Forecast
The Bank of America stock holds buy signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a positive forecast for the stock. 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. On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at $37.51 and $37.16. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. 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. This causes a divergence between volume and price and it may be an early warning. The stock should be watched closely. 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, April 23, 2024, and so far it has fallen -0.235%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found.

Trading Expectations (BAC) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Friday 10th
For the upcoming trading day on Friday, 10th we expect Bank of America Corporation to open at $38.05, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $37.54 and $39.02, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.740 (+/-1.93%) up or down from last closing price. If Bank of America Corporation takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 3.87% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $38.32 (0.10%) than the support at $37.73 (1.44%), 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.
