Metcash Limited Stock Forecast
Weaker technical forecast for Metcash Limited as stock downgraded to Sell Candidate.
(Updated on Jul 03, 2024)
No changes to the price of Metcash Limited stock on the last trading day (Wednesday, 3rd Jul 2024). During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 0.98% from a day low at $3.56 to a day high of $3.60. The price has fallen in 5 of the last 10 days and is down by -6.79% for this period.
The stock lies in the lower of a falling trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good buying opportunity. If the lower trend floor at $3.53 is broken, it will firstly indicate a stronger fall rate. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to fall -7.01% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $3.28 and $3.53 at the end of this 3-month period. Do note, that if the stock price manages to stay at current levels or higher, our prediction target will start to change positively over the next few days as the conditions for the current predictions will be broken.

MTS.AX Signals & Forecast
A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Friday, June 28, 2024, and so far it has risen 0.85%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. The volume rose on the last day while price remained unchanged. This may be an early warning and the stock should be watched closely. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The Metcash Limited stock holds sell signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a more negative forecast for the stock. Also, there is a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average. On corrections up, there will be some resistance from the lines at $3.60 and $3.75. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD).
