The Koppers Holdings Inc stock price gained 1.07% on the last trading day (Thursday, 2nd May 2024), rising from $52.35 to $52.91. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 2.73% from a day low at $52.09 to a day high of $53.51. The price has risen in 6 of the last 10 days but is still down by -0.45% for this period. Volume has increased on the last day along with the price, which is a positive technical sign, and, in total, 9 thousand more shares were traded than the day before. In total, 97 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $5.14 million.
The stock lies in the lower part of a wide and weak rising trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good buying opportunity. If the lower trend floor at $51.38 is broken, it will firstly indicate a slower rate of rising, but may also be an early warning for a trend shift. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to rise 5.34% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $54.12 and $62.45 at the end of this 3-month period.

KOP Signals & Forecast
A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Tuesday, April 30, 2024, and so far it has risen 3.18%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Volume is rising along with the price. This is considered to be a good technical signal. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The Koppers Holdings Inc 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 $54.13. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the short-term average at $52.79. 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).
