inTEST Corp Stock Forecast
inTEST Corp stock upgraded from Sell Candidate to Hold/Accumulate after Thursday trading session.
(Updated on Apr 25, 2024)
The inTEST Corp stock price gained 0.268% on the last trading day (Thursday, 25th Apr 2024), rising from $11.20 to $11.23. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 3.30% from a day low at $10.91 to a day high of $11.27. The price has been going up and down for this period, and there has been a -7.34% loss for the last 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day by -86 shares and in total, 95 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $1.07 million. 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 very wide 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 $10.84 will give a strong sell signal and a trend shift may be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect inTEST Corp stock with a 90% probability to be traded between $10.80 and $13.69 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 stocks seldom manage to go directly from the bottom of a trend up to the top. Stocks turning up in the middle of a horizontal trend are therefore considered to be potential runners.

INTT Signals & Forecast
There are mixed signals in the stock today. The inTEST Corp stock holds a buy signal from the short-term Moving Average; at the same time, however, the long-term average holds a general sell signal. Since the longterm average is above the short-term average there is a general sell signal in the stock giving a more negative forecast for the stock. On further gains, the stock will meet resistance from the long-term Moving Average at $11.73. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the short-term average at $11.18. A break-up through the long-term average will give another buy signal, while a fall below the short-term average will add another sell signal and strengthen the general signal. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Volume fell during the last trading day while the price increased. This causes a divergence and may be considered as an early warning, but it may also not. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Thursday, April 18, 2024, and so far it has risen 1.81%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found.
Support, Risk & Stop-loss for inTEST Corp stock
inTEST Corp finds support from accumulated volume at $11.21 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.
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 $0.360 between high and low, or 3.30%. For the last week the stock has had daily average volatility of 3.55%.
inTEST Corp is oversold on RSI14 (22). Some stocks may drop long and hard while being oversold on RSI before turning, which increases the general risk.
Our recommended stop-loss: $10.61 (-5.52%) (This stock has high daily movements and this gives high risk. Low RSI14 is 22 which reduces the risk some. There is a buy signal from a pivot bottom found 5 days ago.)
Trading Expectations (INTT) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Friday 26th
For the upcoming trading day on Friday, 26th we expect inTEST Corp to open at $11.14, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $10.73 and $11.73, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.498 (+/-4.44%) up or down from last closing price. If inTEST Corp takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 8.88% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the support from accumulated volume at $11.21 (0.18%) than the resistance at $11.37 (1.25%), our systems sees the trading risk/reward intra-day as attractive and believe profit can be made before the stock reaches first resistance..
