MCBC Signals & Forecast

Mostly positive signals in the chart today. The Macatawa Bank Corporation 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 $11.35 and $10.02. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Wednesday, April 10, 2024, and so far it has risen 49.57%. 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 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 Macatawa Bank Corporation stock

Macatawa Bank Corporation finds support from accumulated volume at $13.69 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.

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 $0.275 between high and low, or 2.01%. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 3.06%.

The Macatawa Bank Corporation 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. Since the Macatawa Bank Corporation has been rising for 6 days in a row, the risk over the next couple of days has increased. We don't expect a major reaction as the stock is in very good shape technically, and therefore hold a positive evaluation despite the very short term risk.

Our recommended stop-loss: $13.47 (-2.76%) (This stock has very high daily movements and this gives very high risk. The RSI14 is 87 and this increases the risk substantially. There is a buy signal from a pivot bottom found 6 days ago.)

Trading Expectations (MCBC) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Friday 19th

For the upcoming trading day on Friday, 19th we expect Macatawa Bank Corporation to open at $13.81, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $13.36 and $14.34, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.488 (+/-3.53%) up or down from last closing price. If Macatawa Bank Corporation takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 7.05% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

With no resistance above and support from accumulated volume @ $13.69, some $0.160 (1.16%) from the current price of $13.85, our system finds the risk reward attractive.
