During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 2.89% from a day low at $372.83 to a day high of $383.62. The price has fallen in 6 of the last 10 days and is down by -3.46% for this period. Volume fell on the last day along with the stock, which is actually a good sign as volume should follow the stock.

The stock is moving within a horizontal trend and further movements within this trend can be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect Intuitive Surgical stock with a 90% probability to be traded between $366.04 and $400.10 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.

ISRG Signals & Forecast
A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Friday, April 19, 2024, and so far it has risen 2.37%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The Intuitive Surgical 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 $386.12. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the short-term average at $373.24. 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 together with the price during the last trading day and this reduces the overall risk as volume should follow the price movements.
A sell signal from a double top formation was found on Wednesday, March 27, 2024 with a target of $375.65. Despite whether the objective of the signal formation has been reached the stock may continue to fall.

For the upcoming trading day on Thursday, 25th we expect Intuitive Surgical to open at $377.15, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $364.99 and $385.03, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$10.02 (+/-2.67%) up or down from last closing price.
