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)

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.

BioShares Biotechnology Clinical Trials ETF price ended at $27.27 on Thursday, after losing 0.94%
(Updated on Oct 03, 2024)

Hold candidate since Oct 02, 2024 Loss -0.94%

The BioShares Biotechnology Clinical Trials ETF price fell by -0.94% on the last day (Thursday, 3rd Oct 2024) from $27.53 to $27.27. During the last trading day the ETF fluctuated 0.0367% from a day low at $27.26 to a day high of $27.27. The price has fallen in 6 of the last 10 days and is down by -7.78% for this period. Volume fell on the last day along with the ETF, which is actually a good sign as volume should follow the ETF. On the last day, the trading volume fell by -2 thousand shares and in total, 426 shares were bought and sold for approximately $11.62 thousand.

The ETF is moving within a wide and horizontal trend and further movements within this trend can be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect BioShares Biotechnology Clinical Trials ETF with a 90% probability to be traded between $26.25 and $31.02 at the end of this 3-month period. A break of a horizontal trend is often followed by a large increase in the volume, and ETF seldom manage to go directly from the bottom of a trend up to the top. ETF turning up in the middle of a horizontal trend are therefore considered to be potential runners.

BBC Signals & Forecast

There are few to no technical positive signals at the moment. The BioShares Biotechnology Clinical Trials ETF 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 $27.68 and $27.83. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Thursday, September 19, 2024, and so far it has fallen -7.78%. 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 along with the price during the last trading day which is technical positive. One should, however, note that this ETF may have low liquidity in periods, which increases the general risk. The very low volume increases the risk and reduces the other technical signals issued. The ETF had a Golden Star Signal on Monday, June 03, 2024 in the long-term chart.

Golden Star Signal is when the short-term moving average, the long-term moving average, and price line meet in a special combination. This combination is very rare and often followed by long and strong gains for the ETF in question.

Our recommended stop-loss: $25.71 (-5.72%) (This ETF has medium daily movements and this gives medium risk. There is a sell signal from a pivot top found 10 days ago.)

Trading Expectations (BBC) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Friday 4th

For the upcoming trading day on Friday, 4th we expect BioShares Biotechnology Clinical Trials Fund to open at $27.27, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $26.75 and $27.79, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.521 (+/-1.91%) up or down from last closing price. If BioShares Biotechnology Clinical Trials Fund takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 3.82% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $27.79 (1.91%) than the support at $26.09 (4.35%), 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.
