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.

During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 2.22% from a day low at 3.15€ to a day high of 3.22€. The price has fallen in 7 of the last 10 days but is still up by 0.95% over the past 2 weeks.

CTAC.AS Signals & Forecast

The Ctac N.V. 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 3.20€. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the long-term average at approximately 3.16€. 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. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Friday, May 03, 2024, and so far it has risen 4.95%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. 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). Ctac N.V. gained volume on the last day, but on falling prices. In technical terms, this is called divergence and may be an early warning. In some cases, increasing volume on falling prices may be considered positive, but that is mainly in typical "sell-offs". The very low volume increases the risk and reduces the other technical signals issued.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Ctac N.V. stock

Ctac N.V. finds support from accumulated volume at 3.06€ and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.

Our recommended stop-loss: 3.07€ (-3.42%) (This stock has low daily movements and this gives low risk. There is a buy signal from a pivot bottom found 36 days ago.)

Trading Expectations (CTAC.AS) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 17th

For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 17th we expect Ctac N.V. to open at 3.18€, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between 3.09€ and 3.27€, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-0.0876€ (+/-2.75%) up or down from last closing price. If Ctac N.V. takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 5.51% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the support from accumulated volume at 3.06€ (3.77%) than the resistance at 3.72€ (16.98%), our systems sees the trading risk/reward intra-day as attractive and believe profit can be made before the stock reaches first resistance..
