Stronger technical forecast for Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corporation stock price after Thursday trading.
(Updated on Apr 18, 2024)

BAH Signals & Forecast

There are few to no technical positive signals at the moment. The Booz Allen Hamilton Holding 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 $142.17 and $146.03. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Tuesday, March 05, 2024, and so far it has fallen -6.49%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Volume fell together with the price during the last trading day and this reduces the overall risk as volume should follow the price movements.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corporation stock

On the downside, the stock finds support just below today's level from accumulated volume at $129.98 and $128.88. 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, Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corporation finds support just below today's level at $129.98. If this is broken, then the next support from accumulated volume will be at $128.88 and $127.49.

In general the stock tends to have very controlled movements and with good liquidity the risk is considered very low in this stock. During the last day, the stock moved $2.88 between high and low, or 2.07%. For the last week the stock has had daily average volatility of 1.78%.

Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corporation is oversold on RSI14 (24). Some stocks may drop long and hard while being oversold on RSI before turning, which increases the general risk.

Our recommended stop-loss: $131.21 (-5.95%) (This stock has low daily movements and this gives low risk. Low RSI14 is 24 which reduces the risk some. There is a sell signal from a pivot top found 31 days ago.)

Trading Expectations (BAH) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Friday 19th

For the upcoming trading day on Friday, 19th we expect Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corporation to open at $140.08, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $137.11 and $141.91, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$2.40 (+/-1.72%) up or down from last closing price. If Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corporation takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 3.44% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $142.17 (1.91%) than the support at $129.98 (6.83%), 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.
