Ellsworth Fund Ltd stock downgraded from Hold/Accumulate to Sell Candidate after Monday trading session
(Updated on Nov 17, 2025)

Sell candidate since Nov 17, 2025

The Ellsworth Fund Ltd stock price gained 0.86% on the last trading day (Monday, 17th Nov 2025), rising from $11.66 to $11.76. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 1.97% from a day low at $11.65 to a day high of $11.88. The price has fallen in 7 of the last 10 days and is down by -5.69% for this period. Volume has increased on the last day along with the price, which is a positive technical sign, and, in total, 81 thousand more shares were traded than the day before. In total, 100 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $1.17 million.

The stock lies in the lower part of a wide and strong rising trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good buying opportunity. If the lower trend floor at $11.68 is broken, it will firstly indicate a slower rate of rising, but may also be an early warning for a trend shift. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to rise 13.26% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $13.23 and $14.93 at the end of this 3-month period.

ECF Signals & Forecast

Ellsworth Fund Ltd has increased volume and follows the last lift in the price. This is considered to be a technical positive sign as volume should follow the price-formation. Higher liquidity also reduces the general risk. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The Ellsworth Fund Ltd stock holds sell signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a more negative forecast for the stock. Also, there is a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average. On corrections up, there will be some resistance from the lines at $12.04 and $12.10. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Thursday, October 09, 2025, and so far it has fallen -6.15%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD).

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Ellsworth Fund Ltd stock

Ellsworth Fund Ltd finds support from accumulated volume at $11.68 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: We hold a negative evaluation for this stock. No stop-loss is set.

Trading Expectations (ECF) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Tuesday 18th

For the upcoming trading day on Tuesday, 18th we expect Ellsworth Fund Ltd to open at $11.76, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $11.63 and $11.89, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.262 (+/-2.25%) up or down from last closing price. If Ellsworth Fund Ltd takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 2.25% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the support from accumulated volume at $11.68 (0.68%) than the resistance at $12.15 (3.32%), our systems sees the trading risk/reward intra-day as attractive and believe profit can be made before the stock reaches first resistance..
