Popular Stock Forecast
Stronger technical forecast for Popular stock price after Friday trading.
(Updated on May 03, 2024)
The Popular stock price gained 0.91% on the last trading day (Friday, 3rd May 2024), rising from $88.05 to $88.85. 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 1.24% from a day low at $88.71 to a day high of $89.81. The price has risen in 6 of the last 10 days and is up by 6.79% over the past 2 weeks. Volume has increased on the last day along with the price, which is a positive technical sign, and, in total, 111 thousand more shares were traded than the day before. In total, 320 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $28.40 million.
The stock lies in the upper part of a 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 $89.04 will firstly indicate a stronger rate of rising. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to rise 2.71% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $83.53 and $91.45 at the end of this 3-month period.
