General American Investors Inc Stock Forecast

Weaker technical forecast for General American Investors Inc as stock downgraded to Hold/Accumulate.
(Updated on Apr 26, 2024)

GAM Signals & Forecast

The General American Investors Inc stock holds buy signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a positive forecast for the stock, but the stock has a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average. On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at $45.25 and $45.65. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Friday, April 19, 2024, and so far it has risen 3.23%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Volume fell during the last trading day while the price increased. This causes a divergence and may be considered as an early warning, but it may also not. The stock had a Golden Star Signal on Friday, December 08, 2023 in the long-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 General American Investors Inc stock

General American Investors Inc finds support from accumulated volume at $45.44 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.

In general the stock tends to have very controlled movements and therefore the general risk is considered very low. However, be aware of low or falling volume and make sure to keep an eye on the stock During the last day, the stock moved $0.430 between high and low, or 0.94%. For the last week the stock has had daily average volatility of 0.787%

Our recommended stop-loss: $43.91 (-4.61%) (This stock has low daily movements and this gives low risk. There is a buy signal from a pivot bottom found 5 days ago.)

Trading Expectations (GAM) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 29th

For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 29th we expect General American Investors Inc to open at $45.99, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $45.53 and $46.53, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.504 (+/-1.09%) up or down from last closing price. If General American Investors Inc takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 2.19% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $46.21 (0.39%) than the support at $45.44 (1.28%), 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 General American Investors Inc stock A Buy?

General American Investors Inc holds several positive signals, but we still don't find these to be enough for a buy candidate. At the current level, it should be considered as a hold candidate (hold or accumulate) in this position whilst awaiting further development. 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 Hold/Accumulate candidate.

Current score: 0.531 Hold/Accumulate Downgraded
