COKE Signals & Forecast
The Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated 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 $820.98 and $831.27. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Thursday, April 18, 2024, and so far it has risen 5.18%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Volume is rising along with the price. This is considered to be a good technical signal. 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).

Trading Expectations (COKE) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Thursday 25th
For the upcoming trading day on Thursday, 25th we expect Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated to open at $837.77, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $826.14 and $858.84, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$16.35 (+/-1.94%) up or down from last closing price.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $846.07 (0.42%) than the support at $836.47 (0.71%), 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.
