(Updated on Apr 24, 2024)
The Motorola Solutions Inc stock price fell by -0.127% on the last day (Wednesday, 24th Apr 2024) from $345.55 to $345.11. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 0.171% from a day low at $344.52 to a day high of $345.11. The price has risen in 6 of the last 10 days but is still down by -0.67% for this period. Volume fell on the last day along with the stock, which is actually a good sign as volume should follow the stock.

The stock lies in the lower part of a weak rising trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good buying opportunity.

MSI Signals & Forecast
There are mixed signals in the stock today. The Motorola Solutions Inc stock holds a buy signal from the short-term Moving Average; at the same time, however, the long-term average holds a general sell signal. Since the longterm average is above the short-term average there is a general sell signal in the stock giving a more negative forecast for the stock. On further gains, the stock will meet resistance from the long-term Moving Average at $345.29. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the short-term average at $342.23. A break-up through the long-term average will give another buy signal, while a fall below the short-term average will add another sell signal and strengthen the general signal. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Thursday, March 28, 2024, and so far it has fallen -2.78%. 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.

Trading Expectations (MSI) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Thursday 25th
For the upcoming trading day on Thursday, 25th we expect Motorola Solutions Inc to open at $344.91, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $340.23 and $349.99, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$4.88 (+/-1.41%) up or down from last closing price. If Motorola Solutions Inc takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 2.83% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $345.23 (0.03%) than the support at $344.19 (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.
