(Updated on May 03, 2024)

GGBR4.SA Signals & Forecast

A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Thursday, April 25, 2024, and so far it has risen 7.84%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Volume is rising along with the price. This is considered to be a good technical signal. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The Gerdau S.A. 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 R$21.06. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the short-term average at R$18.61. 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).

For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 6th we expect Gerdau S.A. to open at R$19.52, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between R$18.95 and R$20.37, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-R$0.709 (+/-3.60%) up or down from last closing price. If Gerdau S.A. takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 7.21% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the support from accumulated volume at R$19.62 (0.20%) than the resistance at R$21.20 (7.83%), our systems sees the trading risk/reward intra-day as attractive and believe profit can be made before the stock reaches first resistance..
