Hochschild Mining Plc Stock Forecast
Hochschild Mining Plc stock upgraded from Hold/Accumulate to Buy Candidate after Friday trading session.
(Updated on Apr 26, 2024)
The Hochschild Mining Plc stock price fell by -0.752% on the last day (Friday, 26th Apr 2024) from £159.60 to £158.40. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 3.29% from a day low at £158.00 to a day high of £163.20. The price has been going up and down for this period, and there has been a 6.02% gain for the last 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day along with the stock, which is actually a good sign as volume should follow the stock. On the last day, the trading volume fell by -299 thousand shares and in total, 875 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately £138.58 million.
The stock lies in the upper part of a wide and strong rising trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good selling opportunity for the short-term trader as reaction back towards the lower part of the trend can be expected. A break-up at the top trend line at £160.73 will firstly indicate a stronger rate of rising. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to rise 76.77% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between £241.47 and £284.11 at the end of this 3-month period.

HOC.L Signals & Forecast
The Hochschild Mining 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 £154.97 and £132.27. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. 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 Thursday, April 25, 2024, and so far it has fallen -0.752%. 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). Volume fell together with the price during the last trading day and this reduces the overall risk as volume should follow the price movements.

Trading Expectations (HOC.L) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 29th
For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 29th we expect Hochschild Mining Plc to open at £159.87, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between £152.53 and £164.27, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-£5.87 (+/-3.71%) up or down from last closing price. If Hochschild Mining Plc takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 7.41% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at £159.60 (0.76%) than the support at £151.00 (4.67%), 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.
