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.

During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 0% from a day low at $16.47 to a day high of $16.47. The price has fallen in 4 of the last 10 days and is down by -2.54% for this period.

HSON Signals & Forecast

There are few to no technical positive signals at the moment. The Hudson Global 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 $16.84 and $17.11. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Friday, March 22, 2024, and so far it has fallen -9.31%. 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). Hudson Global 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". The very low volume increases the risk and reduces the other technical signals issued.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Hudson Global stock

On the downside, the stock finds support just below today's level from accumulated volume at $15.26 and $14.28. There is a natural risk involved when a stock is testing a support level, since if this is broken, the stock then may fall to the next support level.

Our recommended stop-loss: $15.70 (-4.70%) (This stock has low daily movements and this gives low risk. There is a sell signal from a pivot top found 27 days ago.)

Trading Expectations (HSON) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Thursday 2nd

For the upcoming trading day on Thursday, 2nd we expect Hudson Global to open at $16.47, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $15.87 and $17.07, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.602 (+/-3.65%) up or down from last closing price. If Hudson Global takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 7.31% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $16.50 (0.18%) than the support at $15.26 (7.35%), 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.
