Ship Finance International Limited Stock Forecast
Ship Finance International Limited stock price up 2.01% on Friday
(Updated on Apr 19, 2024)
The Ship Finance International Limited stock price gained 2.01% on the last trading day (Friday, 19th Apr 2024), rising from $12.46 to $12.71. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 2.00% from a day low at $12.49 to a day high of $12.74. The price has fallen in 7 of the last 10 days and is down by -2% for this period. Volume fell on the last day by -390 thousand shares and in total, 385 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $4.89 million. 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 lies in the lower part of a wide and weak rising trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good buying opportunity. If the lower trend floor at $12.48 is broken, it will firstly indicate a slower rate of rising, but may also be an early warning for a trend shift. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to rise 7.11% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $13.36 and $15.08 at the end of this 3-month period.

SFL Signals & Forecast
There are mixed signals in the stock today. The Ship Finance International Limited 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 $13.09. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the short-term average at $12.63. 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. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Thursday, April 18, 2024, and so far it has risen 2.01%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Volume fell during the last trading day despite gaining prices. This causes a divergence between volume and price and it may be an early warning. The stock should be watched closely.

For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 22nd we expect Ship Finance International Limited to open at $12.65, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $12.47 and $12.95, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.239 (+/-1.88%) up or down from last closing price.
