HCKT Signals & Forecast
The The Hackett Group 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 $24.20 and $24.26. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. 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. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Monday, February 26, 2024, and so far it has fallen -3.30%. 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).

Trading Expectations (HCKT) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 1st
For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 1st we expect The Hackett Group to open at $24.26, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $23.80 and $24.80, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.501 (+/-2.06%) up or down from last closing price. If The Hackett Group takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 4.12% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $24.42 (0.49%) than the support at $24.18 (0.49%), 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.
