Evaluation of Deluxe Corporation stock downgraded after the last trading session.
(Updated on Apr 22, 2024)
The Deluxe Corporation stock price gained 0.558% on the last trading day (Monday, 22nd Apr 2024), rising from $19.71 to $19.82. It has now gained 4 days in a row. It will be exciting to see whether it manages to continue gaining or take a minor break for the next few days. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 2.35% from a day low at $19.57 to a day high of $20.03. The price has risen in 6 of the last 10 days but is still down by -0.55% for this period. Volume fell on the last day by -29 thousand shares and in total, 142 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $2.82 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 middle of a wide and falling trend in the short term and further fall within the trend is signaled. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to fall -2.35% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $18.17 and $20.12 at the end of this 3-month period.

DLX Signals & Forecast
The Deluxe Corporation stock holds buy signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a positive forecast for the stock, but the stock has a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average. On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at $19.19 and $19.64. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Tuesday, April 16, 2024, and so far it has risen 6.10%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. 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. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD).
Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Deluxe Corporation stock
Deluxe Corporation finds support from accumulated volume at $19.55 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.
This stock has average movements during the day and with good trading volume, the risk is considered to be medium. During the last day, the stock moved $0.460 between high and low, or 2.35%. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 2.38%.
Our recommended stop-loss: $19.11 (-3.59%) (This stock has medium daily movements and this gives medium risk. There is a buy signal from a pivot bottom found 4 days ago.)
Trading Expectations (DLX) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Tuesday 23rd
For the upcoming trading day on Tuesday, 23rd we expect Deluxe Corporation to open at $19.81, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $19.30 and $20.34, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.517 (+/-2.61%) up or down from last closing price. If Deluxe Corporation takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 5.22% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $19.83 (0.05%) than the support at $19.55 (1.36%), 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 Deluxe Corporation stock A Buy?
Deluxe Corporation holds several positive signals, but we still don't find these to be enough for a buy candidate. At the current level, it should be considered as a hold candidate (hold or accumulate) in this position whilst awaiting further development. Due to some small weaknesses in the technical picture we have downgraded our analysis conclusion for this stock since the last evaluation from a Buy to a Hold/Accumulate candidate.
Current score: 0.338 Hold/Accumulate Downgraded
