(Updated on Apr 24, 2024)

FFC Signals & Forecast

There are mixed signals in the stock today. The Flaherty & Crumrine Preferred Securities 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 $14.52. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the short-term average at $14.02. 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. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Flaherty & Crumrine Preferred Securities gained volume on the last day, but on falling prices. In technical terms, this is called divergence and may be an early warning. In some cases, increasing volume on falling prices may be considered positive, but that is mainly in typical "sell-offs". A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Monday, April 15, 2024, and so far it has risen 1.95%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found.
