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)

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.

Calumet Specialty Products Partners stock downgraded from Buy Candidate to Hold/Accumulate after Tuesday trading session.
(Updated on Jul 02, 2024)

Buy or Hold candidate since Jun 26, 2024 Loss -0.75% PDF

The Calumet Specialty Products Partners stock price fell by -1.43% on the last day (Tuesday, 2nd Jul 2024) from $16.13 to $15.90. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 2.45% from a day low at $15.90 to a day high of $16.29. The price has been going up and down for this period, and there has been a -2.21% loss for the last 2 weeks. 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 -3 thousand shares and in total, 62 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $992.49 thousand.

The stock lies in the lower part of a weak rising trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good buying opportunity. If the lower trend floor at $15.72 is broken, it will firstly indicate a slower rate of rising, but may also be an early warning for a trend shift. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to rise 5.84% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $16.64 and $17.87 at the end of this 3-month period.

CLMT Signals & Forecast

There are few to no technical positive signals at the moment. The Calumet Specialty Products Partners stock holds sell signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a more negative forecast for the stock. On corrections up, there will be some resistance from the lines at $16.09 and $15.98. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Wednesday, June 12, 2024, and so far it has fallen -3.64%. 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 fell along with the price during the last trading day, which is technical positive. One should, however, note that this stock may have low liquidity in periods, which increases the general risk.

Calumet Specialty Products Partners finds support from accumulated volume at $15.64 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.

However, be aware of low or falling volume and make sure to keep an eye on the stock During the last day, the stock moved $0.390 between high and low, or 2.45%. For the last week the stock has had daily average volatility of 1.66%

Trading Expectations (CLMT) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Wednesday 3rd

For the upcoming trading day on Wednesday, 3rd we expect Calumet Specialty Products Partners to open at $16.03, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $15.50 and $16.30, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.399 (+/-2.51%) up or down from last closing price. If Calumet Specialty Products Partners takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 5.02% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $15.97 (0.44%) than the support at $15.64 (1.64%), 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.
