(Updated on Apr 23, 2024)

HLF.TO Signals & Forecast

A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Thursday, March 28, 2024, and so far it has fallen -3.76%. 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). High Liner Foods Incorporated gained volume on the last day, but on falling prices. In technical terms, this is called divergence and may be an early warning. In some cases, increasing volume on falling prices may be considered positive, but that is mainly in typical "sell-offs". Some positive signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The High Liner Foods Incorporated stock holds a sell signal from the short-term Moving Average; at the same time, however, there is a buy signal from the long-term average. Since the short-term average is above the long-term average there is a general buy signal in the stock giving a positive forecast for the stock. On further gains, the stock will meet resistance from the short-term Moving Average at approximately $13.08. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the long-term average at approximately $13.02. A break-up through the short-term average will send a buy signal, whereas a breakdown through the long-term average will send a sell signal.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for High Liner Foods Incorporated stock

Trading Expectations (HLF.TO) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Wednesday 24th

For the upcoming trading day on Wednesday, 24th we expect High Liner Foods Incorporated to open at $13.10, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $12.78 and $13.30, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.262 (+/-2.01%) up or down from last closing price. If High Liner Foods Incorporated takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 4.02% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the support from accumulated volume at $13.02 (0.15%) than the resistance at $13.10 (0.46%), our systems sees the trading risk/reward intra-day as attractive and believe profit can be made before the stock reaches first resistance..

Is High Liner Foods Incorporated stock A Buy?

Several of the signals/indicators are negative, and we believe that this will affect on the development for the next days and maybe possible weeks. However, over time, we think that today's level holds a possible buying opportunity and that the price will be higher during or at the end of this 3-month period. Due to some small weaknesses in the technical picture we have downgraded our analysis conclusion for this stock since the last evaluation from a Strong Buy to a Buy candidate.

Current score: 1.555 Buy Candidate Downgraded
