IP Signals & Forecast
The International Paper Company stock holds a sell signal from the short-term Moving Average; at the same time, however, there is a buy signal from the long-term average. Since the short-term average is above the long-term average there is a general buy signal in the stock giving a positive forecast for the stock. On further gains, the stock will meet resistance from the short-term Moving Average at approximately $39.44. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the long-term average at approximately $36.27. A break-up through the short-term average will send a buy signal, whereas a breakdown through the long-term average will send a sell signal. Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). 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 Monday, March 25, 2024, and so far it has fallen -4.48%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. 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 (IP) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 1st
For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 1st we expect International Paper Company to open at $39.03, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $37.72 and $40.32, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$1.30 (+/-3.34%) up or down from last closing price. If International Paper Company takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 6.68% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $39.23 (0.54%) than the support at $38.77 (0.64%), 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.
Is International Paper Company stock A Buy?
International Paper Company holds several negative signals and we believe that 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 Buy to a Sell candidate.
