LBLCF Signals & Forecast

The Loblaw Companies Limited 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 $117.14. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the long-term average at approximately $114.55. 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. 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 Friday, June 07, 2024, and so far it has fallen -1.19%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Volume fell on the last day without any changes to the price. This does not cause any direct divergence but may be an early warning and a possible "turning point". The very low volume increases the risk and reduces the other technical signals issued. The stock had a Golden Star Signal on Friday, July 14, 2023 in the long-term chart.

Golden Star Signal is when the short-term moving average, the long-term moving average, and price line meet in a special combination. This combination is very rare and often followed by long and strong gains for the stock in question.

Trading Expectations (LBLCF) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 17th

For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 17th we expect Loblaw Companies Limited to open at $116.74, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $116.11 and $117.37, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.628 (+/-0.54%) up or down from last closing price. If Loblaw Companies Limited takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 1.08% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $117.31 (0.49%) than the support at $114.16 (2.21%), 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.

Current score: 0.000 Hold/Accumulate Unchanged

Zero in score indicates that our system is expecting high volatility and risk for the following trading day. Given the latest developments, we cannot determine the next direction as it may go both ways.
