Bank of Nova Scotia Stock Forecast

Stronger technical forecast for Bank of Nova Scotia stock price after Monday trading.
(Updated on Apr 15, 2024)

BNS.TO Signals & Forecast

There are few to no technical positive signals at the moment. The Bank of Nova Scotia stock 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 $67.25 and $67.35. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Thursday, March 28, 2024, and so far it has fallen -6.56%. 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 rose on falling prices yesterday. This may be an early warning and the stock should be followed more closely.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Bank of Nova Scotia stock

Bank of Nova Scotia finds support from accumulated volume at $62.89 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.

In general the stock tends to have very controlled movements and with good liquidity the risk is considered very low in this stock. During the last day, the stock moved $1.81 between high and low, or 2.77%. For the last week the stock has had daily average volatility of 1.63%.

Our recommended stop-loss: $62.51 (-4.52%) (This stock has low daily movements and this gives low risk. There is a sell signal from a pivot top found 11 days ago.)

Trading Expectations (BNS.TO) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Tuesday 16th

For the upcoming trading day on Tuesday, 16th we expect Bank of Nova Scotia to open at $65.93, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $64.52 and $66.42, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.95 (+/-1.45%) up or down from last closing price. If Bank of Nova Scotia takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 2.90% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $65.90 (0.66%) than the support at $62.89 (3.94%), 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 Bank of Nova Scotia stock A Buy?
