Dreyfus Strategic Municipals Inc Stock Forecast
Dreyfus Strategic Municipals Inc stock upgraded to Hold/Accumulate.
(Updated on Apr 19, 2024)
The Dreyfus Strategic Municipals Inc stock price gained 0.342% on the last trading day (Friday, 19th Apr 2024), rising from $5.85 to $5.87. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 0.684% from a day low at $5.85 to a day high of $5.89. The price has fallen in 5 of the last 10 days and is down by -1.84% for this period. Volume fell on the last day by -127 thousand shares and in total, 110 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $646.94 thousand. You should take into consideration that falling volume on higher prices causes divergence and may be an early warning about possible changes over the next couple of days.
The stock is at the lower part of a narrow 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 $5.85 will give a strong sell signal and a trend shift may be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect Dreyfus Strategic Municipals Inc stock with a 90% probability to be traded between $5.87 and $6.12 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.

LEO Signals & Forecast
There are mixed signals in the stock today. The Dreyfus Strategic Municipals 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 $5.99. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the short-term average at $5.86. 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). Volume fell during the last trading day while the price increased. This causes a divergence and may be considered as an early warning, but it may also not. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Monday, April 15, 2024, and so far it has risen 0.342%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found.
