PG&E Corporation Stock Forecast
Stronger technical forecast for PG&E Corporation stock price after Thursday trading.
(Updated on Apr 18, 2024)
The PG&E Corporation stock price gained 0.608% on the last trading day (Thursday, 18th Apr 2024), rising from $16.44 to $16.54. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 1.10% from a day low at $16.42 to a day high of $16.60. The price has risen in 5 of the last 10 days but is still down by -0.18% for this period. Volume fell on the last day by -2 million shares and in total, 9 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $154.75 million. 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 is moving within a horizontal trend and further movements within this trend can be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect PG&E Corporation stock with a 90% probability to be traded between $15.81 and $16.78 at the end of this 3-month period. A break of a horizontal trend is often followed by a large increase in the volume, and stocks seldom manage to go directly from the bottom of a trend up to the top. Stocks turning up in the middle of a horizontal trend are therefore considered to be potential runners.

PCG Signals & Forecast
The PG&E Corporation stock holds buy signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a positive forecast for the stock, but the stock has a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average. On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at $16.44 and $16.50. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Tuesday, April 16, 2024, and so far it has risen 3.18%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Volume fell during the last trading day despite gaining prices. This causes a divergence between volume and price and it may be an early warning. The stock should be watched closely. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD).

Trading Expectations (PCG) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Friday 19th
For the upcoming trading day on Friday, 19th we expect PG&E Corporation to open at $16.52, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $16.23 and $16.85, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.312 (+/-1.89%) up or down from last closing price. If PG&E Corporation takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 3.77% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $16.59 (0.30%) than the support at $16.41 (0.79%), 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.
