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.

Global X MLP ETF price up 0.124% on Monday
(Updated on Apr 29, 2024)

Buy candidate since Apr 19, 2024 Gain 1.47% PDF

The Global X MLP ETF price gained 0.124% on the last trading day (Monday, 29th Apr 2024), rising from $48.33 to $48.39. It has now gained 9 days in a row. It is not often that ETFS manage to gain so many days in a row, and falls for a day or two should be expected. During the last trading day the ETF fluctuated 0.513% from a day low at $48.23 to a day high of $48.48. The price has risen in 9 of the last 10 days and is up by 3.93% over the past 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day by -9 thousand shares and in total, 73 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $3.53 million. You should take into consideration that falling volume on higher prices causes divergence and may be an early warning about possible changes over the next couple of days.

The ETF lies in the middle of a weak rising trend in the short term and a further rise within the trend is signaled. Given the current short-term trend, the ETF is expected to rise 6.03% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $49.52 and $52.80 at the end of this 3-month period.

MLPA Signals & Forecast

The Global X MLP ETF 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 $48.04 and $47.80. 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 4.54%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. 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 ETF should be watched closely. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). The ETF had a Golden Star Signal on Wednesday, June 14, 2023 in the long-term chart.

Golden Star Signal is when the short-term moving average, the long-term moving average, and price line meet in a special combination. This combination is very rare and often followed by long and strong gains for the ETF in question.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Global X MLP ETF

Global X MLP finds support from accumulated volume at $48.21 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.

In general the ETF tends to have very controlled movements and with good liquidity the risk is considered very low in this stock. During the last day, the ETF moved $0.248 between high and low, or 0.513%. For the last week the ETF has had daily average volatility of 0.84%.

Since the Global X MLP has been rising for 9 days in a row, the risk over the next couple of days has increased. We don't expect a major reaction as the ETF is in very good shape technically, and therefore hold a positive evaluation despite the very short term risk.

Our recommended stop-loss: $46.25 (-4.42%) (This ETF has low daily movements and this gives low risk. There is a buy signal from a pivot bottom found 9 days ago.)

Trading Expectations (MLPA) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Tuesday 30th

For the upcoming trading day on Tuesday, 30th we expect Global X MLP ETF to open at $48.37, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $47.89 and $48.89, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.501 (+/-1.03%) up or down from last closing price. If Global X MLP ETF takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 2.07% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $48.52 (0.27%) than the support at $48.21 (0.37%), 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.

Several short-term signals, along with a general good trend, are positive and we conclude that the current level may hold a buying opportunity as there is a fair chance for Global X MLP ETF to perform well in the short-term.
