(Updated on May 31, 2024)

KLA.F Signals & Forecast

A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Tuesday, May 28, 2024, and so far it has fallen -5.51%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). KLA-Tencor Corporation gained volume on the last day, but on falling prices. In technical terms, this is called divergence and may be an early warning. In some cases, increasing volume on falling prices may be considered positive, but that is mainly in typical "sell-offs". The very low volume increases the risk and reduces the other technical signals issued. Some positive signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The KLA-Tencor Corporation 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 714.33€. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the long-term average at approximately 666.72€. 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.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for KLA-Tencor Corporation stock

On the downside, the stock finds support just below today's level from accumulated volume at 650.50€ and 643.20€. There is a natural risk involved when a stock is testing a support level, since if this is broken, the stock then may fall to the next support level. In this case, KLA-Tencor Corporation finds support just below today's level at 650.50€. If this is broken, then the next support from accumulated volume will be at 643.20€ and 624.50€.

This stock has average movements during the day and with good trading volume, the risk is considered to be medium. During the last day, the stock moved 24.10€ between high and low, or 3.52%. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 1.74%.

Our recommended stop-loss: 660.12€ (-3.70%) (This stock has medium daily movements and this gives medium risk. There is a sell signal from a pivot top found 28 days ago.)

Trading Expectations (KLA.F) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 3rd

For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 3rd we expect KLA-Tencor Corporation to open at 693.53€, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between 670.92€ and 700.08€, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-14.58€ (+/-2.13%) up or down from last closing price. If KLA-Tencor Corporation takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 4.25% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at 706.80€ (3.11%) than the support at 650.50€ (5.11%), 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 KLA-Tencor Corporation stock A Buy?

Several of the signals/indicators are negative, and we believe that this will affect on the development for the next days and maybe possible weeks. However, over time, we think that today's level holds a possible buying opportunity and that the price will be higher during or at the end of this 3-month period. We have upgraded our analysis conclusion for this stock since the last evaluation from a Hold/Accumulate to a Buy candidate.

Current score: 3.453 Buy Candidate Upgraded
