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)

Bollinger Bottleneck Buy Pattern 2

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.

MSVB Signals & Forecast

The Mid-Southern Bancorp Inc. 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 $14.18 and $14.25. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Wednesday, April 24, 2024, and so far it has risen 2.50%. 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 gained on the last day while the price remained unchanged. This is not a classical divergence, but the stock should be watched more closely at it may be a "turning point". The very low volume increases the risk and reduces the other technical signals issued.

Trading Expectations (MSVB) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 20th

For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 20th we expect Mid-Southern Bancorp Inc. to open at $14.34, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $14.23 and $14.45, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.111 (+/-0.77%) up or down from last closing price. If Mid-Southern Bancorp Inc. takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 1.54% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $14.35 (0.07%) than the support at $14.25 (0.63%), 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.
