Compass Minerals International Inc 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)

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.

A very red day for Compass Minerals International Inc stock price after a -6.67% fall in the Tuesday trading session
(Updated on Apr 30, 2024)
The Compass Minerals International Inc stock price fell by -6.67% on the last day (Tuesday, 30th Apr 2024) from $13.34 to $12.45. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 5.31% from a day low at $12.44 to a day high of $13.10. The price has fallen in 7 of the last 10 days and is down by -8.46% for this period. Volume has increased on the last day by 63 thousand shares but on falling prices. This may be an early warning and the risk will be increased slightly over the next couple of days. In total, 623 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $7.75 million.
The stock lies the upper part of a very wide and falling 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 $12.74 will firstly indicate a slower falling rate, but may be the first sign of a trend shift. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to fall -49.17% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $4.53 and $6.48 at the end of this 3-month period. Do note, that if the stock price manages to stay at current levels or higher, our prediction target will start to change positively over the next few days as the conditions for the current predictions will be broken.

For the upcoming trading day on Wednesday, 1st we expect Compass Minerals International Inc to open at $12.66, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $11.61 and $13.29, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.84 (+/-6.74%) up or down from last closing price.
