Sell candidate since Aug 04, 2026 Loss -2.06%

The Ship Finance International Limited stock price fell by -1.49% on the last day (Monday, 10th Aug 2026) from $12.07 to $11.89. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 2.61% from a day low at $11.88 to a day high of $12.19. The price has risen in 5 of the last 10 days but is still down by -0.42% for this period. Volume has increased on the last day by 125 thousand shares but on falling prices. This may be an early warning and the risk will be increased slightly over the next couple of days. In total, 875 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $10.40 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 Ship Finance International Limited stock with a 90% probability to be traded between $9.91 and $12.14 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.

SFL Signals & Forecast

The Ship Finance International Limited stock holds a sell signal from the short-term Moving Average; at the same time, however, there is a buy signal from the long-term average. Since the short-term average is above the long-term average there is a general buy signal in the stock giving a positive forecast for the stock. On further gains, the stock will meet resistance from the short-term Moving Average at approximately $12.11. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the long-term average at approximately $11.39. A break-up through the short-term average will send a buy signal, whereas a breakdown through the long-term average will send a sell signal. 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 Monday, August 03, 2026, and so far it has fallen -3.96%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Volume rose on falling prices yesterday. This may be an early warning and the stock should be followed more closely.

Trading Expectations (SFL) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Tuesday 11th

For the upcoming trading day on Tuesday, 11th we expect Ship Finance International Limited to open at $11.99, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $11.73 and $12.05, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.324 (+/-2.77%) up or down from last closing price. If Ship Finance International Limited takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 2.77% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $12.07 (1.51%) than the support at $11.49 (3.36%), 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.
