Northwest Pipe Company Stock Forecast

Northwest Pipe Company stock upgraded to Hold/Accumulate.
(Updated on Apr 25, 2024)

NWPX Signals & Forecast

There are few to no technical positive signals at the moment. The Northwest Pipe Company 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 $31.82 and $33.57. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Monday, April 01, 2024, and so far it has fallen -10.44%. 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 along with the price during the last trading day, which is technical positive. One should, however, note that this stock may have low liquidity in periods, which increases the general risk.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Northwest Pipe Company stock

Northwest Pipe Company finds support from accumulated volume at $31.27 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.

This stock has average movements during the day, but be aware of low or falling volume as this increases the risk. During the last day, the stock moved $0.390 between high and low, or 1.25%. For the last week the stock has had daily average volatility of 1.69%.

Northwest Pipe Company is oversold on RSI14 (17). Some stocks may drop long and hard while being oversold on RSI before turning, which increases the general risk.

Our recommended stop-loss: $29.89 (-5.08%) (This stock has medium daily movements and this gives medium risk. Low RSI14 is 17 which reduces the risk some. There is a sell signal from a pivot top found 18 days ago.)

Trading Expectations (NWPX) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Friday 26th

For the upcoming trading day on Friday, 26th we expect Northwest Pipe Company to open at $31.40, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $30.77 and $32.21, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.724 (+/-2.30%) up or down from last closing price. If Northwest Pipe Company takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 4.60% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the support from accumulated volume at $31.27 (0.70%) than the resistance at $32.38 (2.83%), our systems sees the trading risk/reward intra-day as attractive and believe profit can be made before the stock reaches first resistance..
