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.

Green day on Thursday for Tortoise Energy Independence Fund Inc stock after gaining 1.45%
(Updated on May 02, 2024)

Sell candidate since Apr 30, 2024 Loss -0.03% PDF

The Tortoise Energy Independence Fund Inc stock price gained 1.45% on the last trading day (Thursday, 2nd May 2024), rising from $33.07 to $33.55. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 0.630% from a day low at $33.34 to a day high of $33.55. The price has been going up and down for this period, and there has been a 0.78% gain for the last 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day by -4 thousand shares and in total, 2 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $69.68 thousand. 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 stock lies in the lower part of a strong rising trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good buying opportunity. If the lower trend floor at $33.17 is broken, it will firstly indicate a slower rate of rising, but may also be an early warning for a trend shift. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to rise 20.17% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $39.86 and $43.34 at the end of this 3-month period.

NDP Signals & Forecast

There are few to no technical positive signals at the moment. The Tortoise Energy Independence Fund Inc stock holds sell signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a more negative forecast for the stock. On corrections up, there will be some resistance from the lines at $33.83 and $33.66. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Wednesday, April 10, 2024, and so far it has fallen -2.70%. 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 during the last trading day while the price increased. This causes a divergence and may be considered as an early warning, but it may not be. The very low volume increases the risk and reduces the other technical signals issued. The stock had a Golden Star Signal on Thursday, February 08, 2024 in the short-term chart.
