e.l.f. Beauty Inc 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)

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.

e.l.f. Beauty Inc stock price up 2.05% on Friday
(Updated on Apr 26, 2024)
The e.l.f. Beauty Inc stock price gained 2.05% on the last trading day (Friday, 26th Apr 2024), rising from $176.03 to $179.63. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 4.50% from a day low at $172.00 to a day high of $179.74. The price has risen in 7 of the last 10 days and is up by 10.26% over the past 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day by -418 thousand shares and in total, 2 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $270.24 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 is moving within a very wide and horizontal trend and further movements within this trend can be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect e.l.f. Beauty Inc stock with a 90% probability to be traded between $155.25 and $214.39 at the end of this 3-month period. A break of a horizontal trend is often followed by a large increase in the volume, and stocks seldom manage to go directly from the bottom of a trend up to the top. Stocks turning up in the middle of a horizontal trend are therefore considered to be potential runners.

ELF Signals & Forecast
A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Friday, April 19, 2024, and so far it has risen 14.61%. 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 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. The e.l.f. Beauty Inc stock holds a buy signal from the short-term Moving Average; at the same time, however, the long-term average holds a general sell signal. Since the longterm average is above the short-term average there is a general sell signal in the stock giving a more negative forecast for the stock. On further gains, the stock will meet resistance from the long-term Moving Average at $182.48. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the short-term average at $170.76. A break-up through the long-term average will give another buy signal, while a fall below the short-term average will add another sell signal and strengthen the general signal.

On the downside, the stock finds support just below today's level from accumulated volume at $164.82 and $163.77.

Trading Expectations (ELF) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 29th
For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 29th we expect e.l.f. Beauty Inc to open at $177.12, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $170.46 and $188.80, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$9.17 (+/-5.10%) up or down from last closing price. If e.l.f. Beauty Inc takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 10.20% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $185.93 (3.51%) than the support at $164.82 (8.24%), 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.
