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)

Bollinger Bottleneck Buy Pattern 2

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.

Evaluation of Bidvest Group Ltd Sp stock downgraded after the last trading session.
(Updated on May 03, 2024)

Buy or Hold candidate since May 01, 2024 Gain 3.99% PDF

The Bidvest Group Ltd Sp stock price gained 3.64% on the last trading day (Friday, 3rd May 2024), rising from $26.68 to $27.65. It has now gained 3 days in a row. It will be exciting to see whether it manages to continue gaining or take a minor break for the next few days. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 1.06% from a day low at $27.36 to a day high of $27.65. The price has risen in 7 of the last 10 days and is up by 13.69% over the past 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day by -2 thousand shares and in total, 3 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $79.66 thousand. You should take into consideration that falling volume on higher prices causes divergence and may be an early warning about possible changes over the next couple of days.

The stock lies in the upper part of a wide and weak rising trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good selling opportunity for the short-term trader as reaction back towards the lower part of the trend can be expected. A break-up at the top trend line at $28.36 will firstly indicate a stronger rate of rising. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to rise 3.33% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $25.21 and $29.31 at the end of this 3-month period.

BDVSY Signals & Forecast

The Bidvest Group Ltd Sp 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 $26.14 and $25.63. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Thursday, April 18, 2024, and so far it has risen 14.09%. 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. Volume fell during the last trading day while the price increased. This causes a divergence and may be considered as an early warning, but it may not be. The very low volume increases the risk and reduces the other technical signals issued.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Bidvest Group Ltd Sp stock

On the downside, the stock finds support just below today's level from accumulated volume at $25.41 and $25.12. 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, Bidvest Group Ltd Sp finds support just below today's level at $25.41. If this is broken, then the next support from accumulated volume will be at $25.12 and $24.68.

This stock has average movements during the day, but be aware of low or falling volume as this increases the risk. During the last day, the stock moved $0.290 between high and low, or 1.06%. For the last week the stock has had daily average volatility of 1.34%.

The Bidvest Group Ltd Sp stock is overbought on RSI14 and lies in the upper part of the trend. Normally this may pose a good selling opportunity for the short-term trader, but some stocks may go long and hard while being overbought and the RSI is still moving upwards. Regardless, the high RSI together with the trend position increases the risk and higher daily movements (volatility) should be expected. A correction down in the nearby future seems very likely, and it is of great importance that the stock manages to break the trend before that occurs.

Our recommended stop-loss: $26.83 (-2.98%) (This stock has medium daily movements and this gives medium risk. The RSI14 is 76 and this increases the risk substantially. There is a buy signal from a pivot bottom found 11 days ago.)

Trading Expectations (BDVSY) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 6th

For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 6th we expect Bidvest Group Ltd Sp to open at $27.55, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $27.12 and $28.18, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.532 (+/-1.92%) up or down from last closing price. If Bidvest Group Ltd Sp takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 3.85% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $27.74 (0.31%) than the support at $25.41 (8.10%), 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.

Is Bidvest Group Ltd Sp stock A Buy?

Bidvest Group Ltd Sp holds several positive signals, but we still don't find these to be enough for a buy candidate. At the current level, it should be considered as a hold candidate (hold or accumulate) in this position whilst awaiting further development. Due to some small weaknesses in the technical picture we have downgraded our analysis conclusion for this stock since the last evaluation from a Buy to a Hold/Accumulate candidate.

Current score: 0.000 Hold/Accumulate Downgraded

Zero in score indicates that our system is expecting high volatility and risk for the following trading day. Given the latest developments, we cannot determine the next direction as it may go both ways.
