Evaluation of Duke Energy Corporation stock downgraded after the last trading session.
(Updated on May 07, 2024)

DUK Signals & Forecast

The Duke Energy Corporation 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 $99.86 and $96.80. 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 10.11%. 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). Volume is rising along with the price. This is considered to be a good technical signal. The stock had a Golden Star Signal on Tuesday, March 05, 2024 in the long-term chart.

Golden Star Signal is when the short-term moving average, the long-term moving average, and price line meet in a special combination. This combination is very rare and often followed by long and strong gains for the stock in question.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Duke Energy Corporation stock

Duke Energy Corporation finds support from accumulated volume at $99.77 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.

This stock is usually traded at a good volume, and with minor daily changes, the risk is considered to be low. During the last day, the stock moved $2.06 (2.05%) between high and low. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 1.77%.

The Duke Energy Corporation stock is extremely overbought on RSI14 (81). Normally this may pose a good selling opportunity but since the stock has broken the trend up, the chance for a major correction due to high RSI is very small as the stock will find support at the trend broken.

Our recommended stop-loss: $97.79 (-4.37%) (This stock has low daily movements and this gives low risk. The RSI14 is 81 and this increases the risk substantially. There is a buy signal from a pivot bottom found 15 days ago.)

Trading Expectations (DUK) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Wednesday 8th

For the upcoming trading day on Wednesday, 8th we expect Duke Energy Corporation to open at $101.64, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $100.66 and $103.86, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$1.60 (+/-1.57%) up or down from last closing price. If Duke Energy Corporation takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 3.14% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

With no resistance above and support from accumulated volume @ $99.77, some $2.49 (2.43%) from the current price of $102.26, our system finds the risk reward attractive.

Is Duke Energy Corporation stock A Buy?

Duke Energy 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: 0.000 Hold/Accumulate Downgraded

Zero in score indicates that our system is expecting high volatility and risk for the following trading day. Given the latest developments, we cannot determine the next direction as it may go both ways.
