BlackRock Science and Technology Trust Stock Forecast
BlackRock Science and Technology Trust stock price down 0.115% on Thursday
(Updated on Apr 25, 2024)
The BlackRock Science and Technology Trust stock price fell by -0.115% on the last day (Thursday, 25th Apr 2024) from $17.32 to $17.30. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 1.74% from a day low at $17.06 to a day high of $17.36. The price has fallen in 7 of the last 10 days and is down by -8.13% for this period. Volume fell on the last day along with the stock, which is actually a good sign as volume should follow the stock. On the last day, the trading volume fell by -50 thousand shares and in total, 139 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $2.40 million.
The stock is at the lower part of a wide and horizontal trend in the short term, and normally this may pose a good buying opportunity, though a breakdown through the bottom trend line at $17.03 will give a strong sell signal and a trend shift may be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect BlackRock Science and Technology Trust stock with a 90% probability to be traded between $17.32 and $19.83 at the end of this 3-month period. A break of a horizontal trend is often followed by a large increase in the volume, and stocks seldom manage to go directly from the bottom of a trend up to the top. Stocks turning up in the middle of a horizontal trend are therefore considered to be potential runners.

BSTZ Signals & Forecast
A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Friday, April 19, 2024, and so far it has risen 1.70%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The BlackRock Science and Technology Trust 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 $18.50. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the short-term average at $17.29. A break-up through the long-term average will give another buy signal, while a fall below the short-term average will add another sell signal and strengthen the general signal. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Volume fell together with the price during the last trading day and this reduces the overall risk as volume should follow the price movements.

Trading Expectations (BSTZ) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Friday 26th
For the upcoming trading day on Friday, 26th we expect BlackRock Science and Technology Trust II to open at $17.24, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $17.01 and $17.59, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.288 (+/-1.67%) up or down from last closing price. If BlackRock Science and Technology Trust II takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 3.33% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $17.38 (0.46%) than the support at $17.03 (1.56%), 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.
