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.

Evaluation of Orion Engineered Carbons SA stock downgraded after the last trading session.
(Updated on Jul 02, 2024)

Sell candidate since Jun 20, 2024 Loss -5.44% PDF

The Orion Engineered Carbons SA stock price fell by -0.0468% on the last day (Tuesday, 2nd Jul 2024) from $21.37 to $21.36. It has now fallen 4 days in a row. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 2.53% from a day low at $20.98 to a day high of $21.51. The price has fallen in 8 of the last 10 days and is down by -7.49% for this period. Volume fell on the last day along with the stock, which is actually a good sign as volume should follow the stock. On the last day, the trading volume fell by -62 thousand shares and in total, 195 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $4.18 million.

The stock has broken the wide and falling short-term trend down. Firstly a stronger fallrate is indicated, but false breaks and "sell-off" may occur. However, a further fall is realistic and any reactions back to the breaking point ($22.03) are considered to be a "second chance" to get out. According to the fan-theory $18.95 will represent the new bottom line of the next trend, but it is far too early to say this for certain.

OEC Signals & Forecast

There are few to no technical positive signals at the moment. The Orion Engineered Carbons SA 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 $21.95 and $23.87. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Monday, May 20, 2024, and so far it has fallen -17.69%. 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.
