LTC Signals & Forecast
The LTC Properties Inc 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 $34.42 and $32.72. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals.

Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Volume fell during the last trading day despite gaining prices. This causes a divergence between volume and price and it may be an early warning. The stock should be watched closely.
Support, Risk & Stop-loss for LTC Properties Inc stock
On the downside, the stock finds support just below today's level from accumulated volume at $32.57 and $32.51. 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, LTC Properties Inc finds support just below today's level at $32.57. If this is broken, then the next support from accumulated volume will be at $32.51 and $31.91.
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 $0.282 between high and low, or 0.81%. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 0.97%.
The LTC Properties Inc stock is extremely overbought on RSI14 (86). Normally this may pose a good selling opportunity but since the stock has broken the trend up, the chance for a major correction due to high RSI is very small as the stock will find support at the trend broken.
Our recommended stop-loss: $33.33 (-4.12%) (This stock has medium daily movements and this gives medium risk. The RSI14 is 86 and this increases the risk substantially. There is a buy signal from a pivot bottom found 23 days ago.)
