NKTR Signals & Forecast
The Nektar Therapeutics stock 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 $1.49 and $1.23. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Thursday, May 02, 2024, and so far it has fallen -5.99%. 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.
Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Nektar Therapeutics stock
On the downside, the stock finds support just below today's level from accumulated volume at $1.35 and $1.32. There is a natural risk involved when a stock is testing a support level, since if this is broken, the stock then may fall to the next support level. In this case, Nektar Therapeutics finds support just below today's level at $1.35. If this is broken, then the next support from accumulated volume will be at $1.32 and $1.29.
This stock may move much during the day (volatility) and with a large prediction interval from the Bollinger Band this stock is considered to be "high risk". During the last day, the stock moved $0.190 between high and low, or 12.26%. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 12.19%.
Our recommended stop-loss: $1.48 (-6.00%) (This stock has high daily movements and this gives high risk. There is a sell signal from a pivot top found 1 day ago.)
Trading Expectations (NKTR) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 6th
For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 6th we expect Nektar Therapeutics to open at $1.62, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $1.42 and $1.72, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.148 (+/-9.46%) up or down from last closing price. If Nektar Therapeutics takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 18.92% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $1.58 (0.64%) than the support at $1.35 (14.01%), 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.
