MFD Signals & Forecast
Mostly positive signals in the chart today. The Macquarie/First Trust Global stock holds buy signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a positive forecast for the stock, but the stock has a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average. On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at $7.32 and $7.37. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Tuesday, April 16, 2024, and so far it has risen 6.77%. 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). Macquarie/First Trust Global has increased volume and follows the last lift in the price. This is considered to be a technical positive sign as volume should follow the price-formation. The very low volume increases the risk and reduces the other technical signals issued.

Trading Expectations (MFD) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Friday 3rd
For the upcoming trading day on Friday, 3rd we expect Macquarie/First Trust Global to open at $7.40, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $7.30 and $7.52, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.105 (+/-1.42%) up or down from last closing price. If Macquarie/First Trust Global takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 2.85% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $7.43 (0.27%) than the support at $7.39 (0.27%), our systems don't find the trading risk/reward intra-day attractive and any bets should be held until the stock is closer to the support level.
