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.

Green day on Monday for Columbus McKinnon Corporation
(Updated on Apr 29, 2024)

Hold candidate since Apr 25, 2024 Gain 2.35% PDF

The Columbus McKinnon Corporation stock price gained 0.596% on the last trading day (Monday, 29th Apr 2024), rising from $41.93 to $42.18. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 0.86% from a day low at $41.99 to a day high of $42.35. The price has risen in 6 of the last 10 days and is up by 2.85% over the past 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day by -20 thousand shares and in total, 58 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $2.46 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 is moving within a wide and horizontal trend and further movements within this trend can be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect Columbus McKinnon Corporation stock with a 90% probability to be traded between $41.10 and $45.72 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.

CMCO Signals & Forecast

The Columbus McKinnon Corporation stock holds buy signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a positive forecast for the stock, but the stock has a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average. On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at $41.49 and $42.08. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Wednesday, April 17, 2024, and so far it has risen 4.77%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Volume fell during the last trading day despite gaining prices. This causes a divergence between volume and price and it may be an early warning. The stock should be watched closely. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD).

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Columbus McKinnon Corporation stock

Columbus McKinnon Corporation finds support from accumulated volume at $41.56 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.

In general the stock tends to have very controlled movements and with good liquidity the risk is considered very low in this stock. During the last day, the stock moved $0.360 between high and low, or 0.86%. For the last week the stock has had daily average volatility of 1.73%.

Our recommended stop-loss: $40.31 (-4.44%) (This stock has low daily movements and this gives low risk. There is a buy signal from a pivot bottom found 8 days ago.)

Trading Expectations (CMCO) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Tuesday 30th

For the upcoming trading day on Tuesday, 30th we expect Columbus McKinnon Corporation to open at $42.17, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $41.29 and $43.07, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.89 (+/-2.12%) up or down from last closing price. If Columbus McKinnon Corporation takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 4.23% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $42.23 (0.12%) than the support at $41.56 (1.47%), 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.

Columbus McKinnon Corporation holds several positive signals, but we still don't find these to be enough for a buy candidate. At the current level, it should be considered as a hold candidate (hold or accumulate) in this position whilst awaiting further development.
