Brooks Macdonald Group plc Stock Forecast
Explanation to Bollinger's Bands
Bollinger Bands was created by John Bollinger in the early 1980s, its purpose is to define price action relative to the assets highs and lows. This technical indicator is used to identify buy and sell signals and has proven very well in doing so.
Bollinger Bands consist of a set of three curves drawn in relation to securities prices. The middle band is a measure of the intermediate-term trend, usually a simple moving average, that serves as the base for the upper and lower bands. The interval between the upper and lower bands and the middle band is determined by volatility, typically the standard deviation of the same data that were used for the average. StockInvest.us uses Bollingers suggested 20 day average.
Middle Bollinger Band = 20-period simple moving average
Upper Bollinger Band = Middle Bollinger Band + 2 * 20-period standard deviation
Lower Bollinger Band = Middle Bollinger Band - 2 * 20-period standard deviation
BandWidth defines the current width of the band.
%b defines the current position within the band.
BandWidth = (Upper Bollinger Band - Lower Bollinger Band) / Middle Bollinger Band
%b = (Last - Lower Bollinger Band) / (Upper Bollinger Band - Lower Bollinger Band)
Live Samples:
Bottlenecks in bandwidth indicate an upcoming change. Break up through the moving average line or continuous movements above the moving average line indicate a break up, and vice versa.

Brooks Macdonald Group plc stock price up 1.06% on Tuesday
(Updated on Apr 30, 2024)
The Brooks Macdonald Group plc stock price gained 1.06% on the last trading day (Tuesday, 30th Apr 2024), rising from £1,880.00 to £1,900.00. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 4.25% from a day low at £1,822.50 to a day high of £1,900.00. The price has risen in 5 of the last 10 days and is up by 3.97% over the past 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day by -4 thousand shares and in total, 18 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately £33.41 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 upper part of a wide and 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 £1,919.34 will firstly indicate a stronger rate of rising. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to rise 4.31% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between £1,771.87 and £2,002.09 at the end of this 3-month period.
