Coles Group Limited Stock Forecast
Stronger technical forecast for Coles Group Limited stock price after Friday trading.
(Updated on May 03, 2024)
The Coles Group Limited stock price gained 0.186% on the last trading day (Friday, 3rd May 2024), rising from $16.09 to $16.12. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 1.25% from a day low at $16.01 to a day high of $16.21. The price has been going up and down for this period, and there has been a -0.25% loss for the last 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day by -1 million shares and in total, 3 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $42.37 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 at the lower part of a horizontal trend in the short term, and normally this may pose a good buying opportunity, though a breakdown through the bottom trend line at $16.05 will give a strong sell signal and a trend shift may be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect Coles Group Limited stock with a 90% probability to be traded between $16.26 and $17.45 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.

COL.AX Signals & Forecast
The Coles Group Limited stock holds sell signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a more negative forecast for the stock. Also, there is a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average. On corrections up, there will be some resistance from the lines at $16.26 and $16.40. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. Some positive signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Tuesday, April 16, 2024, and so far it has risen 0.687%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). 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.
