PHC INC Stock Forecast
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 PHC INC stock downgraded after the last trading session.
(Updated on Jul 02, 2024)
The PHC INC stock price fell by -0.288% on the last day (Tuesday, 2nd Jul 2024) from £8.68 to £8.65. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 1.16% from a day low at £8.60 to a day high of £8.70. The price has fallen in 6 of the last 10 days but is still up by 41.71% over the past 2 weeks. 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 -638 thousand shares and in total, 1 million shares were bought and sold for approximately £12.52 million.
The stock lies in the upper part of a very wide and strong rising trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good selling opportunity for the short-term trader as reaction back towards the lower part of the trend can be expected. A break-up at the top trend line at £8.75 will firstly indicate a stronger rate of rising. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to rise 105.46% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between £12.53 and £17.98 at the end of this 3-month period.

PHC.L Signals & Forecast
The PHC INC 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 £7.83 and £6.20. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). 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 Monday, July 01, 2024, and so far it has fallen -0.288%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. 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 PHC INC stock
PHC INC finds support from accumulated volume at £8.63 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.
This stock may move very much during the day (volatility) and with a very large prediction interval from the Bollinger Band this stock is considered to be "very high risk". During the last day, the stock moved £0.1000 between high and low, or 1.16%. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 13.32%.
Our recommended stop-loss: £8.34 (-3.57%) (This stock has very high daily movements and this gives very high risk. There is a sell signal from a pivot top found 5 days ago.)
Trading Expectations (PHC.L) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Wednesday 3rd
For the upcoming trading day on Wednesday, 3rd we expect PHC INC to open at £8.65, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between £7.99 and £9.31, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-£0.660 (+/-7.63%) up or down from last closing price. If PHC INC takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 15.27% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at £8.68 (0.29%) than the support at £8.63 (0.29%), 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.
Is PHC INC stock A Buy?
Several short-term signals, along with a general good trend, are positive and we conclude that the current level may hold a buying opportunity as there is a fair chance for PHC INC stock to perform well in the short-term. Due to some small weaknesses in the technical picture we have downgraded our analysis conclusion for this stock since the last evaluation from a Strong Buy to a Buy candidate.
Current score: 1.450 Buy Candidate Downgraded
