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.

High volatility in CRUDE CARRIERS CORP. (Foreign) stock price on Tuesday which ended trading at £14.65
(Updated on Jul 02, 2024)

Buy or Hold candidate since May 28, 2024 Gain 27.39% PDF

The CRUDE CARRIERS CORP. (Foreign) stock price gained 2.02% on the last trading day (Tuesday, 2nd Jul 2024), rising from £14.36 to £14.65. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 12.65% from a day low at £13.76 to a day high of £15.50. The price has risen in 6 of the last 10 days and is up by 12.69% over the past 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day by -18 thousand shares and in total, 121 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately £1.77 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 lies in the upper part of a wide and strong rising 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 £15.01 will firstly indicate a stronger rate of rising. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to rise 44.84% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between £17.73 and £21.74 at the end of this 3-month period.

CRU.L Signals & Forecast

The CRUDE CARRIERS CORP. (Foreign) stock holds buy signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a positive forecast for the stock. Also, there is a general buy signal from the relation between the two signals where the short-term average is above the long-term average. On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at £14.16 and £12.27. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. 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. 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 Friday, June 28, 2024, and so far it has fallen -1.38%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found.

On the downside, the stock finds support just below today's level from accumulated volume at £13.25 and £13.00. 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, CRUDE CARRIERS CORP. (Foreign) finds support just below today's level at £13.25. If this is broken, then the next support from accumulated volume will be at £13.00 and £11.25.

During the last day, the stock moved £1.74 between high and low, or 12.65%. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 7.31%.

Our recommended stop-loss: £14.15 (-3.44%) (This stock has high daily movements and this gives high risk. There is a sell signal from a pivot top found 36 days ago.)

Trading Expectations (CRU.L) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Wednesday 3rd

For the upcoming trading day on Wednesday, 3rd we expect CRUDE CARRIERS CORP. (Foreign) to open at £14.64, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between £13.76 and £15.54, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-£0.89 (+/-6.10%) up or down from last closing price. If CRUDE CARRIERS CORP. (Foreign) takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 12.21% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at £14.86 (1.40%) than the support at £13.25 (9.56%), 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.
