The GDL Fund Stock Forecast

The GDL Fund stock downgraded to Sell Candidate
(Updated on May 02, 2024)

GDL Signals & Forecast

A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Monday, April 15, 2024, and so far it has risen 0.653%. 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). Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The The GDL Fund 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 $7.86. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the short-term average at $7.82. 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. Volume fell on the last day without any changes to the price. This does not cause any direct divergence but may be an early warning and a possible "turning point". The very low volume increases the risk and reduces the other technical signals issued.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for The GDL Fund stock

The GDL Fund finds support from accumulated volume at $7.81 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.

Trading Expectations (GDL) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Friday 3rd

For the upcoming trading day on Friday, 3rd we expect The GDL Fund to open at $7.82, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $7.78 and $7.86, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.0411 (+/-0.53%) up or down from last closing price. If The GDL Fund takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 1.05% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $7.83 (0.13%) than the support at $7.81 (0.13%), 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 The GDL Fund stock A Buy?

The GDL Fund holds several negative signals and we believe that it will still perform weakly in the next couple of days or weeks. We, therefore, 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 Hold/Accumulate to a Sell candidate.

Current score: -1.301 Sell Candidate Downgraded
