KF Signals & Forecast
The Korea Fund Inc (The) stock holds buy signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a positive forecast for the stock, but the stock has a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average. On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at $24.05 and $24.29. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. 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 Tuesday, May 07, 2024, and so far it has fallen -0.389%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. 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. The very low volume increases the risk and reduces the other technical signals issued.

Trading Expectations (KF) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Thursday 9th
For the upcoming trading day on Thursday, 9th we expect Korea Fund Inc (The) to open at $24.32, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $24.01 and $24.64, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.319 (+/-1.31%) up or down from last closing price. If Korea Fund Inc (The) takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 2.63% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $24.45 (0.51%) than the support at $24.03 (1.21%), 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.
