Buy or Hold candidate since Oct 23, 2025 Gain 4.45%

The Bank of Nova Scotia (The) stock price fell by -0.163% on the last day (Monday, 17th Nov 2025) from $67.45 to $67.34. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 1.37% from a day low at $66.99 to a day high of $67.91. The price has risen in 6 of the last 10 days and is up by 2.51% over the past 2 weeks. Volume has increased on the last day by 190 thousand shares but on falling prices. This may be an early warning and the risk will be increased slightly over the next couple of days. In total, 1 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $89.63 million.

The stock lies in the upper part of a strong 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 $68.16 will firstly indicate a stronger rate of rising. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to rise 11.36% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $70.43 and $75.90 at the end of this 3-month period.
