Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen Fund Forecast

Red day on Thursday for Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen
(Updated on Mar 30, 2017)

PLKI Signals & Forecast

The Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen fund 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 $78.99 and $76.54. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Tuesday, March 14, 2017, and so far it has risen 0.0633%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. 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). Volume fell on the last day without any changes to the price. This does not cause any direct divergence but may be an early warning and a possible "turning point". The very low volume increases the risk and reduces the other technical signals issued.

Trading Expectations (PLKI) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Friday 31st

For the upcoming trading day on Friday, 31st we expect Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen to open at $79.00, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $78.60 and $79.40, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.403 (+/-0.51%) up or down from last closing price. If Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 1.02% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $79.01 (0.01%) than the support at $78.98 (0.03%), 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.
