Hooker Furniture Corporation stock downgraded from Sell Candidate to Strong Sell Candidate after Thursday trading session.
(Updated on Apr 18, 2024)

HOFT Signals & Forecast

There are few to no technical positive signals at the moment. The Hooker Furniture Corporation stock holds sell signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a more negative forecast for the stock. Also, there is a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average. On corrections up, there will be some resistance from the lines at $18.98 and $22.47. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Thursday, March 28, 2024, and so far it has fallen -24.78%. 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 along with the price during the last trading day, which is technical positive. One should, however, note that this stock may have low liquidity in periods, which increases the general risk.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Hooker Furniture Corporation stock

There is no support from accumulated volume below today's level and given the right condition the stock may perform very badly in the next couple of days.

This stock may move much during the day (volatility) and with periodic low trading volume this stock is considered to be "high risk". During the last day, the stock moved $0.405 between high and low, or 2.26%. For the last week the stock has had daily average volatility of 6.64%.

Hooker Furniture Corporation is oversold on RSI14 (11). Some stocks may fall long and hard while being oversold on RSI, but stocks that are heavily oversold on RSI often pose good re-bounce chance and played well it can be a buy candidate.

Our recommended stop-loss: We hold a negative evaluation for this stock. No stop-loss is set.

Trading Expectations (HOFT) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Friday 19th

For the upcoming trading day on Friday, 19th we expect Hooker Furniture Corporation to open at $18.09, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $17.09 and $19.03, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.97 (+/-5.39%) up or down from last closing price. If Hooker Furniture Corporation takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 10.78% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

With no support below and resistance from accumulated volume @ $18.15, some $0.0900 (0.50%) from the current price of $18.06, our system finds the risk reward not very attractive.

Is Hooker Furniture Corporation stock A Buy?

Hooker Furniture Corporation holds several negative signals and is within a wide and falling trend, so we believe it will still perform weakly in the next couple of days or weeks. We therefore hold a negative evaluation of this stock. Due to some small weaknesses in the technical picture we have downgraded our analysis conclusion for this stock since the last evaluation from a Sell to a Strong Sell candidate.

Current score: -6.021 Strong Sell Candidate Downgraded
