LXRX Signals & Forecast
There are few to no technical positive signals at the moment. The Lexicon Pharmaceuticals stock holds sell signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a more negative forecast for the stock. Also, there is a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average. On corrections up, there will be some resistance from the lines at $1.65 and $2.13. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Thursday, February 15, 2024, and so far it has fallen -55.31%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Volume fell together with the price during the last trading day and this reduces the overall risk as volume should follow the price movements.
Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Lexicon Pharmaceuticals stock
There is no support from accumulated volume below today's level and given the right condition the stock may perform very badly in the next couple of days.
This stock may move very much during the day (volatility) and with a very large prediction interval from the Bollinger Band this stock is considered to be "very high risk". During the last day, the stock moved $0.0700 between high and low, or 4.49%. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 7.88%.
Lexicon Pharmaceuticals is oversold on RSI14 (18). Some stocks may drop long and hard while being oversold on RSI before turning, which increases the general risk.
Our recommended stop-loss: We hold a negative evaluation for this stock. No stop-loss is set.
Trading Expectations (LXRX) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Thursday 25th
For the upcoming trading day on Thursday, 25th we expect Lexicon Pharmaceuticals to open at $1.60, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $1.44 and $1.76, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.165 (+/-10.30%) up or down from last closing price. If Lexicon Pharmaceuticals takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 20.60% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
With no support below and resistance from accumulated volume @ $1.78, some $0.180 (11.25%) from the current price of $1.60, our system finds the risk reward not very attractive.
