Red day on Friday for Consumer Portfolio Services stock after losing 0%
(Updated on Apr 26, 2024)

CPSS Signals & Forecast

The Consumer Portfolio Services stock holds a sell signal from the short-term Moving Average; at the same time, however, there is a buy signal from the long-term average. Since the short-term average is above the long-term average there is a general buy signal in the stock giving a positive forecast for the stock. On further gains, the stock will meet resistance from the short-term Moving Average at approximately $8.67. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the long-term average at approximately $8.21. A break-up through the short-term average will send a buy signal, whereas a breakdown through the long-term average will send a sell signal. Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Thursday, April 11, 2024, and so far it has fallen -7.03%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Volume fell on the last day without any changes to the price. This does not cause any direct divergence but may be an early warning and a possible "turning point". The very low volume increases the risk and reduces the other technical signals issued.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Consumer Portfolio Services stock

On the downside, the stock finds support just below today's level from accumulated volume at $8.07 and $7.98. There is a natural risk involved when a stock is testing a support level, since if this is broken, the stock then may fall to the next support level. In this case, Consumer Portfolio Services finds support just below today's level at $8.07. If this is broken, then the next support from accumulated volume will be at $7.98 and $7.67.

This stock has average movements during the day, but be aware of low or falling volume as this increases the risk. During the last day, the stock moved $0.290 between high and low, or 3.44%. For the last week the stock has had daily average volatility of 4.24%.

Our recommended stop-loss: We hold a negative evaluation for this stock. No stop-loss is set.

Trading Expectations (CPSS) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 29th

For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 29th we expect Consumer Portfolio Services to open at $8.59, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $8.13 and $9.05, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.459 (+/-5.34%) up or down from last closing price. If Consumer Portfolio Services takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 10.68% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $8.64 (0.58%) than the support at $8.07 (6.05%), 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.

Is Consumer Portfolio Services stock A Buy?

Consumer Portfolio Services holds several negative signals and we believe that it will still perform weakly in the next couple of days or weeks. We, therefore, hold a negative evaluation of this stock.
