Duff & Phelps Global Utility Income Fund Stock Forecast
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)

Green day on Monday for Duff & Phelps Global Utility Income Fund stock after gaining 1.05%
(Updated on May 06, 2024)
The Duff & Phelps Global Utility Income Fund stock price gained 1.05% on the last trading day (Monday, 6th May 2024), rising from $9.49 to $9.59. 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 1.38% from a day low at $9.47 to a day high of $9.60. The price has risen in 6 of the last 10 days and is up by 2.35% over the past 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day by -5 thousand shares and in total, 105 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $1.01 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 weak 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 $9.74 will firstly indicate a stronger rate of rising. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to rise 4.60% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $9.36 and $10.19 at the end of this 3-month period.

DPG Signals & Forecast
The Duff & Phelps Global Utility Income Fund 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 $9.42 and $9.29. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Monday, April 15, 2024, and so far it has risen 8.42%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. 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. Volume fell during the last trading day while the price increased. This causes a divergence and may be considered as an early warning, but it may also not.
Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Duff & Phelps Global Utility Income Fund stock
Duff & Phelps Global Utility Income Fund finds support from accumulated volume at $9.46 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.
In general the stock tends to have controlled movements and therefore the general risk is considered low. However, be aware of low or falling volume and make sure to keep an eye on the stock. During the last day, the stock moved $0.131 between high and low, or 1.38%. For the last week the stock has had daily average volatility of 1.39%.
The Duff & Phelps Global Utility Income Fund stock is overbought on RSI14 and lies in the upper part of the trend. Normally this may pose a good selling opportunity for the short-term trader, but some stocks may go long and hard while being overbought and the RSI is still moving upwards. Regardless, the high RSI together with the trend position increases the risk and higher daily movements (volatility) should be expected. A correction down in the nearby future seems very likely, and it is of great importance that the stock manages to break the trend before that occurs.
Our recommended stop-loss: $9.20 (-4.02%) (This stock has low daily movements and this gives low risk. The RSI14 is 82 and this increases the risk substantially. There is a buy signal from a pivot bottom found 15 days ago.)
