Sell candidate since Nov 13, 2025 Gain 0.15%

The Western Asset Investment Grade Defined stock price gained 0.396% on the last trading day (Monday, 17th Nov 2025), rising from $16.42 to $16.49. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 0.518% from a day low at $16.40 to a day high of $16.49. The price has fallen in 6 of the last 10 days and is down by -0.81% for this period. Volume fell on the last day by -682 shares and in total, 20 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $324.31 thousand. You should take into consideration that falling volume on higher prices causes divergence and may be an early warning about possible changes over the next couple of days.

The stock is at the lower part of a narrow and horizontal trend in the short term, and normally this may pose a good buying opportunity, though a breakdown through the bottom trend line at $16.42 will give a strong sell signal and a trend shift may be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect Western Asset Investment Grade Defined stock with a 90% probability to be traded between $16.30 and $16.81 at the end of this 3-month period. A break of a horizontal trend is often followed by a large increase in the volume, and stock seldom manage to go directly from the bottom of a trend up to the top. Stock turning up in the middle of a horizontal trend are therefore considered to be potential runners.
