Bank of Nova Scotia (The) Stock Forecast
Green day on Tuesday for Bank of Nova Scotia (The)
(Updated on Apr 23, 2024)
The Bank of Nova Scotia (The) stock price gained 0.425% on the last trading day (Tuesday, 23rd Apr 2024), rising from $47.09 to $47.29. 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 0.94% from a day low at $46.90 to a day high of $47.34. The price has fallen in 6 of the last 10 days and is down by -6.28% for this period. Volume fell on the last day by -195 thousand shares and in total, 2 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $76.58 million. 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 lower part of a wide and weak rising trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good buying opportunity. If the lower trend floor at $46.61 is broken, it will firstly indicate a slower rate of rising, but may also be an early warning for a trend shift. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to rise 5.62% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $49.22 and $55.50 at the end of this 3-month period.

BNS Signals & Forecast
There are mixed signals in the stock today. The Bank of Nova Scotia (The) 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 $49.39. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the short-term average at $46.88.

A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Tuesday, April 16, 2024, and so far it has risen 1.96%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found.
