OP Bancorp Stock Forecast

Green day on Wednesday for OP Bancorp
(Updated on Apr 24, 2024)

OPBK Signals & Forecast

There are mixed signals in the stock today. The OP Bancorp stock holds a buy signal from the short-term Moving Average; at the same time, however, the long-term average holds a general sell signal. Since the longterm average is above the short-term average there is a general sell signal in the stock giving a more negative forecast for the stock. On further gains, the stock will meet resistance from the long-term Moving Average at $9.74. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the short-term average at $9.18. A break-up through the long-term average will give another buy signal, while a fall below the short-term average will add another sell signal and strengthen the general signal. 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 also not. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Monday, April 15, 2024, and so far it has risen 5.03%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for OP Bancorp stock

OP Bancorp finds support from accumulated volume at $9.32 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 $0.240 between high and low, or 2.59%. For the last week the stock has had daily average volatility of 2.20%.

Since the OP Bancorp has been rising for 6 days in a row, the risk over the next couple of days has increased. As we cannot be certain with regards to the size of the reaction, we urge caution.

Our recommended stop-loss: $8.98 (-4.33%) (This stock has medium daily movements and this gives medium risk. There is a buy signal from a pivot bottom found 7 days ago.)

Trading Expectations (OPBK) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Thursday 25th

For the upcoming trading day on Thursday, 25th we expect OP Bancorp to open at $9.38, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $9.17 and $9.61, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.222 (+/-2.36%) up or down from last closing price. If OP Bancorp takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 4.73% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the support from accumulated volume at $9.32 (0.75%) than the resistance at $10.20 (8.63%), our systems sees the trading risk/reward intra-day as attractive and believe profit can be made before the stock reaches first resistance..

Is OP Bancorp stock A Buy?

OP Bancorp holds several positive signals, but we still don't find these to be enough for a buy candidate. At the current level, it should be considered as a hold candidate (hold or accumulate) in this position whilst awaiting further development.

Current score: -0.267 Hold/Accumulate Unchanged
