CHOLESTECH CORPORATION Stock Forecast
Red day on Wednesday for CHOLESTECH CORPORATION
(Updated on Mar 27, 2024)
The CHOLESTECH CORPORATION stock price fell by -0.138% on the last day (Wednesday, 27th Mar 2024) from £289.60 to £289.20. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 1.73% from a day low at £288.60 to a day high of £293.60. The price has been going up and down for this period, and there has been a 2.19% gain for the last 2 weeks. Volume has increased on the last day by 890 thousand shares but on falling prices. This may be an early warning and the risk will be increased slightly over the next couple of days. In total, 5 million shares were bought and sold for approximately £1.51 billion.
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 £290.35 will firstly indicate a stronger rate of rising. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to rise 19.32% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between £307.54 and £346.46 at the end of this 3-month period.

Trading Expectations (CTEC.L) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Thursday 28th
For the upcoming trading day on Thursday, 28th we expect CHOLESTECH CORPORATION to open at £290.47, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between £283.26 and £295.14, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-£5.94 (+/-2.06%) up or down from last closing price. If CHOLESTECH CORPORATION takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 4.11% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at £289.60 (0.14%) than the support at £280.80 (2.90%), 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.
