BlackRock Municipal Income Trust Stock Forecast
Stronger technical forecast for BlackRock Municipal Income Trust stock price after Tuesday trading.
(Updated on Apr 23, 2024)
The BlackRock Municipal Income Trust stock price gained 0.91% on the last trading day (Tuesday, 23rd Apr 2024), rising from $9.93 to $10.02. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 0.80% from a day low at $9.95 to a day high of $10.03. The price has fallen in 6 of the last 10 days and is down by -1.86% for this period. Volume has increased on the last day along with the price, which is a positive technical sign, and, in total, 3 thousand more shares were traded than the day before. In total, 102 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $1.02 million.
The stock is at the lower part of a narrow and horizontal trend in the short term, and normally this may pose a good buying opportunity, though a breakdown through the bottom trend line at $9.93 will give a strong sell signal and a trend shift may be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect BlackRock Municipal Income Trust stock with a 90% probability to be traded between $9.82 and $10.29 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 stocks seldom manage to go directly from the bottom of a trend up to the top. Stocks turning up in the middle of a horizontal trend are therefore considered to be potential runners.

BFK Signals & Forecast
A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Monday, April 22, 2024, and so far it has risen 0.91%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. BlackRock Municipal Income Trust has increased volume and follows the last lift in the price. This is considered to be a technical positive sign as volume should follow the price-formation. Higher liquidity also reduces the general risk. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The BlackRock Municipal Income Trust stock holds a buy signal from the short-term Moving Average; at the same time, however, the long-term average holds a general sell signal. Since the longterm average is above the short-term average there is a general sell signal in the stock giving a more negative forecast for the stock. On further gains, the stock will meet resistance from the long-term Moving Average at $10.22. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the short-term average at $9.96. A break-up through the long-term average will give another buy signal, while a fall below the short-term average will add another sell signal and strengthen the general signal. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD).

Trading Expectations (BFK) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Wednesday 24th
For the upcoming trading day on Wednesday, 24th we expect BlackRock Municipal Income Trust to open at $10.00, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $9.94 and $10.10, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.0803 (+/-0.80%) up or down from last closing price.

Since the stock is closer to the support from accumulated volume at $9.99 (0.30%) than the resistance at $10.11 (0.90%), our systems sees the trading risk/reward intra-day as attractive and believe profit can be made before the stock reaches first resistance..
