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.

Green day on Friday for Pioneer High Income Trust
(Updated on May 03, 2024)

Buy or Hold candidate since Apr 16, 2024 Gain 1.49% PDF

The Pioneer High Income Trust stock price gained 0.742% on the last trading day (Friday, 3rd May 2024), rising from $7.42 to $7.47. It has now gained 3 days in a row. It will be exciting to see whether it manages to continue gaining or take a minor break for the next few days. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 1.21% from a day low at $7.41 to a day high of $7.50. The price has risen in 7 of the last 10 days and is up by 2.05% over the past 2 weeks. Volume has increased on the last day along with the price, which is a positive technical sign, and, in total, 45 thousand more shares were traded than the day before. In total, 108 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $809.97 thousand.

The stock is moving within a narrow and horizontal trend and further movements within this trend can be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect Pioneer High Income Trust stock with a 90% probability to be traded between $7.34 and $7.70 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.

PHT Signals & Forecast

A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Thursday, April 25, 2024, and so far it has risen 2.19%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Pioneer High Income Trust has increased volume and follows the last lift in the price. This is considered to be a technical positive sign as volume should follow the price-formation. Higher liquidity also reduces the general risk. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The Pioneer High Income Trust 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 $7.47. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the short-term average at $7.38. 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. The stock had a Golden Star Signal on Thursday, June 29, 2023 in the long-term chart.

Trading Expectations (PHT) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 6th

For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 6th we expect Pioneer High Income Trust to open at $7.46, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $7.39 and $7.55, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.0761 (+/-1.02%) up or down from last closing price. If Pioneer High Income Trust takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 2.04% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $7.49 (0.27%) than the support at $7.43 (0.54%), 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.
