The stock is moving within a horizontal trend and further movements within this trend can be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect Star Gas Partners LP stock with a 90% probability to be traded between $12.47 and $13.24 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.
SGU Signals & Forecast
A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Friday, July 31, 2026, and so far it has risen 1.12%. 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. The Star Gas Partners LP 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 $12.72 and $12.84. 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 along with the price during the last trading day, which is technical positive. One should, however, note that this stock may have low liquidity in periods, which increases the general risk.

For the last week the stock has had daily average volatility of 2.66%

Trading Expectations (SGU) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Tuesday 11th
For the upcoming trading day on Tuesday, 11th we expect Star Gas Partners LP to open at $12.76, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $12.52 and $12.84, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.313 (+/-2.50%) up or down from last closing price. If Star Gas Partners LP takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 2.50% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $12.76 (0.63%) than the support at $12.57 (0.87%), 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.
