Ferroglobe PLC Stock Forecast
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.

Ferroglobe PLC stock upgraded to Buy Candidate.
(Updated on Apr 25, 2024)
The Ferroglobe PLC stock price gained 1.96% on the last trading day (Thursday, 25th Apr 2024), rising from $5.09 to $5.19. It has now gained 3 days in a row. It will be exciting to see whether it manages to continue gaining or take a minor break for the next few days. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 3.58% from a day low at $5.03 to a day high of $5.21. The price has fallen in 5 of the last 10 days and is down by -4.6% for this period. Volume fell on the last day by -303 thousand shares and in total, 1 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $5.55 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 is moving within a very wide and horizontal trend and further movements within this trend can be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect Ferroglobe PLC stock with a 90% probability to be traded between $4.37 and $5.63 at the end of this 3-month period. A break of a horizontal trend is often followed by a large increase in the volume, and stocks seldom manage to go directly from the bottom of a trend up to the top. Stocks turning up in the middle of a horizontal trend are therefore considered to be potential runners.

GSM Signals & Forecast
There are mixed signals in the stock today. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Wednesday, April 10, 2024, and so far it has fallen -6.99%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). The Ferroglobe PLC 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 $5.05 and $4.88. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. 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.
Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Ferroglobe PLC stock
Ferroglobe PLC finds support from accumulated volume at $5.08 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.

Trading Expectations (GSM) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Friday 26th
For the upcoming trading day on Friday, 26th we expect Ferroglobe PLC to open at $5.14, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $4.97 and $5.41, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.222 (+/-4.27%) up or down from last closing price. If Ferroglobe PLC takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 8.55% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $5.23 (0.77%) than the support at $5.08 (2.12%), 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.
