Vaalco Energy 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)
Live Samples:
Bottlenecks in bandwidth indicate an upcoming change. Break up through the moving average line or continuous movements above the moving average line indicate a break up, and vice versa.

Vaalco Energy stock downgraded to Sell Candidate
(Updated on Apr 26, 2024)
The Vaalco Energy stock price fell by -0.622% on the last day (Friday, 26th Apr 2024) from $6.43 to $6.39. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 2.89% from a day low at $6.22 to a day high of $6.40. The price has fallen in 7 of the last 10 days and is down by -8.84% for this period.

The stock lies in the lower part of a very wide and strong rising trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good buying opportunity.

EGY Signals & Forecast
There are few to no technical positive signals at the moment. The Vaalco Energy stock holds sell signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a more negative forecast for the stock. On corrections up, there will be some resistance from the lines at $6.54 and $6.42. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Wednesday, April 03, 2024, and so far it has fallen -14.57%. 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). Volume fell together with the price during the last trading day and this reduces the overall risk as volume should follow the price movements. The stock had a Golden Star Signal on Wednesday, February 28, 2024 in the short-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 Vaalco Energy stock
On the downside, the stock finds support just below today's level from accumulated volume at $5.77 and $5.54. There is a natural risk involved when a stock is testing a support level, since if this is broken, the stock then may fall to the next support level.

Trading Expectations (EGY) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 29th
For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 29th we expect Vaalco Energy Inc to open at $6.34, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $6.16 and $6.62, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.232 (+/-3.63%) up or down from last closing price. If Vaalco Energy Inc takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 7.27% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $6.76 (5.79%) than the support at $5.77 (9.70%), 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 Vaalco Energy Inc stock A Buy?
The Vaalco Energy stock holds several negative signals and despite the positive trend, we believe Vaalco Energy will perform weakly in the next couple of days or weeks. Therefore, we hold a negative evaluation of this stock. 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 Sell candidate.
