Park National Corp 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)
Live Samples:
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.

Stronger technical forecast for Park National Corp stock price after Friday trading.
(Updated on Apr 26, 2024)
The Park National Corp stock price fell by -0.334% on the last day (Friday, 26th Apr 2024) from $134.78 to $134.33. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 1.42% from a day low at $134.33 to a day high of $136.24. The price has risen in 7 of the last 10 days and is up by 7.27% 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 -19 thousand shares and in total, 21 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $2.84 million.
The stock is moving within a wide and horizontal trend and further movements within this trend can be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect Park National Corp stock with a 90% probability to be traded between $124.74 and $137.93 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.

PRK Signals & Forecast
The Park National Corp 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 $132.73 and $130.22. 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 Wednesday, April 24, 2024, and so far it has fallen -2.30%. 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.

Trading Expectations (PRK) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 29th
For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 29th we expect Park National Corp to open at $134.97, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $131.10 and $137.56, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$3.23 (+/-2.40%) up or down from last closing price. If Park National Corp takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 4.81% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $135.31 (0.73%) than the support at $130.68 (2.72%), 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.
