Century Aluminum Company Stock Forecast

Red day on Tuesday for Century Aluminum Company
(Updated on Apr 23, 2024)

CENX Signals & Forecast

A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Monday, April 22, 2024, and so far it has fallen -2.45%. 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. Some positive signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The Century Aluminum Company stock holds a sell signal from the short-term Moving Average; at the same time, however, there is a buy signal from the long-term average. Since the short-term average is above the long-term average there is a general buy signal in the stock giving a positive forecast for the stock. On further gains, the stock will meet resistance from the short-term Moving Average at approximately $17.66. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the long-term average at approximately $14.62. A break-up through the short-term average will send a buy signal, whereas a breakdown through the long-term average will send a sell signal.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Century Aluminum Company stock

On the downside, the stock finds support just below today's level from accumulated volume at $16.23 and $16.11. There is a natural risk involved when a stock is testing a support level, since if this is broken, the stock then may fall to the next support level. In this case, Century Aluminum Company finds support just below today's level at $16.23. If this is broken, then the next support from accumulated volume will be at $16.11 and $15.39.

This stock may move much during the day (volatility) and with a large prediction interval from the Bollinger Band this stock is considered to be "high risk". During the last day, the stock moved $1.11 between high and low, or 6.62%. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 5.71%.

Our recommended stop-loss: $16.89 (-3.77%) (This stock has high daily movements and this gives high risk. There is a sell signal from a pivot top found 1 day ago.)

Trading Expectations (CENX) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Wednesday 24th

For the upcoming trading day on Wednesday, 24th we expect Century Aluminum Company to open at $17.39, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $16.59 and $18.51, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.96 (+/-5.44%) up or down from last closing price. If Century Aluminum Company takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 10.89% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $17.75 (1.14%) than the support at $16.23 (7.52%), 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 Century Aluminum Company stock A Buy?

Several of the signals/indicators are negative, and we believe that this will affect on the development for the next days and maybe possible weeks. However, over time, we think that today's level holds a possible buying opportunity and that the price will be higher during or at the end of this 3-month period.

Current score: 1.415 Buy Candidate Unchanged
