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.

Stronger technical forecast for Festi hf. stock price after Tuesday trading.
(Updated on Apr 30, 2024)

Buy candidate since Apr 30, 2024 PDF

The Festi hf. stock price gained 0.526% on the last trading day (Tuesday, 30th Apr 2024), rising from 190.00 Íkr to 191.00 Íkr. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 0.526% from a day low at 190.00 Íkr to a day high of 191.00 Íkr. The price has fallen in 4 of the last 10 days and is down by -0.52% for this period. Volume fell on the last day by -240 thousand shares and in total, 58 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately 11.01 Íkr 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 the upper part of a falling 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 191.51 Íkr will firstly indicate a slower falling rate, but may be the first sign of a trend shift. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to fall -7.90% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between 166.94 Íkr and 176.38 Íkr at the end of this 3-month period. Do note, that if the stock price manages to stay at current levels or higher, our prediction target will start to change positively over the next few days as the conditions for the current predictions will be broken.

FESTI.IC Signals & Forecast

Mostly positive signals in the chart today. The Festi hf. 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 190.71 Íkr and 190.31 Íkr. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Tuesday, March 26, 2024, and so far it has risen 2.14%. 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.

Trading Expectations (FESTI.IC) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Thursday 2nd

For the upcoming trading day on Thursday, 2nd we expect Festi hf. to open at 190.67 Íkr, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between 189.50 Íkr and 192.50 Íkr, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-1.50 Íkr (+/-0.79%) up or down from last closing price. If Festi hf. takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 1.57% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at 192.00 Íkr (0.52%) than the support at 190.00 Íkr (0.52%), 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.
