Loungers plc Stock Forecast
Explanation to Bollinger's Bands
Bollinger Bands was created by John Bollinger in the early 1980s, its purpose is to define price action relative to the assets highs and lows. This technical indicator is used to identify buy and sell signals and has proven very well in doing so.
Bollinger Bands consist of a set of three curves drawn in relation to securities prices. The middle band is a measure of the intermediate-term trend, usually a simple moving average, that serves as the base for the upper and lower bands. The interval between the upper and lower bands and the middle band is determined by volatility, typically the standard deviation of the same data that were used for the average. StockInvest.us uses Bollingers suggested 20 day average.
Middle Bollinger Band = 20-period simple moving average
Upper Bollinger Band = Middle Bollinger Band + 2 * 20-period standard deviation
Lower Bollinger Band = Middle Bollinger Band - 2 * 20-period standard deviation
BandWidth defines the current width of the band.
%b defines the current position within the band.
BandWidth = (Upper Bollinger Band - Lower Bollinger Band) / Middle Bollinger Band
%b = (Last - Lower Bollinger Band) / (Upper Bollinger Band - Lower Bollinger Band)

Bottlenecks in bandwidth indicate an upcoming change. Break up through the moving average line or continuous movements above the moving average line indicate a break up, and vice versa.

LGRS.L Signals & Forecast
The Loungers plc stock holds buy signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a positive forecast for the stock. Also, there is a general buy signal from the relation between the two signals where the short-term average is above the long-term average. On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at £257.43 and £223.96. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Wednesday, March 13, 2024, and so far it has risen 39.58%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Volume is rising along with the price. This is considered to be a good technical signal.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Loungers plc stock
On the downside, the stock finds support just below today's level from accumulated volume at £221.00 and £213.00. 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, Loungers plc finds support just below today's level at £221.00. If this is broken, then the next support from accumulated volume will be at £213.00 and £212.00.
This stock may move much during the day (volatility) and with a large prediction interval from the Bollinger Band this stock is considered to be "high risk". During the last day, the stock moved £6.00 between high and low, or 2.27%. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 2.36%.
The Loungers plc stock is overbought on RSI14 and lies in the upper part of the trend. Normally this may pose a good selling opportunity for the short-term trader, but some stocks may go long and hard while being overbought. Regardless, the high RSI together with the trend position increases the risk and higher daily movements (volatility) should be expected. A correction down in the nearby future seems very likely and it is of great importance that the stock manages to break the trend before that occurs.
Our recommended stop-loss: £259.32 (-3.24%) (This stock has high daily movements and this gives high risk. The RSI14 is 88 and this increases the risk substantially. There is a buy signal from a pivot bottom found 39 days ago.)
Trading Expectations (LGRS.L) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 13th
For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 13th we expect Loungers plc to open at £267.33, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between £261.05 and £274.95, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-£6.95 (+/-2.59%) up or down from last closing price. If Loungers plc takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 5.19% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
With no resistance above and support from accumulated volume @ £221.00, some £47.00 (17.54%) from the current price of £268.00, our system finds the risk reward attractive.
Is Loungers plc stock A Buy?
Loungers plc holds several positive signals, but we still don't find these to be enough for a buy candidate. At the current level, it should be considered as a hold candidate (hold or accumulate) in this position whilst awaiting further development. Due to some small weaknesses in the technical picture we have downgraded our analysis conclusion for this stock since the last evaluation from a Buy to a Hold/Accumulate candidate.
Current score: 0.000 Hold/Accumulate Downgraded
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.
