Evaluation of Korea Electric Power Corporation stock downgraded after the last trading session.
(Updated on Apr 24, 2024)

Sell candidate since Apr 24, 2024 PDF

The Korea Electric Power Corporation stock price fell by -3.31% on the last day (Wednesday, 24th Apr 2024) from $7.86 to $7.60. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 1.45% from a day low at $7.60 to a day high of $7.71. The price has fallen in 6 of the last 10 days and is down by -5.59% 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. On the last day, the trading volume fell by -40 thousand shares and in total, 55 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $415.42 thousand.

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 $7.18 will give a strong sell signal and a trend shift may be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect Korea Electric Power Corporation stock with a 90% probability to be traded between $7.16 and $9.46 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.

KEP Signals & Forecast

A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Wednesday, April 17, 2024, and so far it has risen 5.85%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. 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. The Korea Electric Power Corporation 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 $8.31. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the short-term average at $7.48. 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. Volume fell along with the price during the last trading day, which is technical positive. One should, however, note that this stock may have low liquidity in periods, which increases the general risk.
