Sound Financial Bancorp Stock Forecast
Green day on Tuesday for Sound Financial Bancorp stock after gaining 0.0510%
(Updated on May 07, 2024)
The Sound Financial Bancorp stock price gained 0.0510% on the last trading day (Tuesday, 7th May 2024), rising from $39.24 to $39.26. 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 0% from a day low at $39.26 to a day high of $39.26. The price has risen in 5 of the last 10 days but is still down by -0.86% for this period. Volume fell on the last day by -86 shares and in total, 414 shares were bought and sold for approximately $16.25 thousand. 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 at the lower part of a horizontal trend in the short term, and normally this may pose a good buying opportunity, though a breakdown through the bottom trend line at $39.18 will give a strong sell signal and a trend shift may be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect Sound Financial Bancorp stock with a 90% probability to be traded between $39.39 and $41.75 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.

SFBC Signals & Forecast
The Sound Financial Bancorp stock holds sell signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a more negative forecast for the stock. Also, there is a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average. On corrections up, there will be some resistance from the lines at $39.44 and $40.20. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Volume fell during the last trading day while the price increased. This causes a divergence and may be considered as an early warning, but it may not be. The very low volume increases the risk and reduces the other technical signals issued. Some positive signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Wednesday, April 24, 2024, and so far it has risen 0.281%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found.
