(Updated on Apr 25, 2024)

SHYF Signals & Forecast

There are mixed signals in the stock today. The The Shyft Group, Inc. 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 $11.38. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the short-term average at $10.78. 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 9.35%. 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.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for The Shyft Group, Inc. stock

On the downside, the stock finds support just below today's level from accumulated volume at $10.66 and $10.44. There is a natural risk involved when a stock is testing a support level, since if this is broken, the stock then may fall to the next support level. In this case, The Shyft Group, Inc. finds support just below today's level at $10.66. If this is broken, then the next support from accumulated volume will be at $10.44 and $10.27.

This stock has average movements during the day and with good trading volume, the risk is considered to be medium. During the last day, the stock moved $0.740 between high and low, or 6.82%. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 5.16%.

Our recommended stop-loss: $10.82 (-3.68%) (This stock has medium daily movements and this gives medium risk. There is a buy signal from a pivot bottom found 5 days ago.)

Trading Expectations (SHYF) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Friday 26th

For the upcoming trading day on Friday, 26th we expect The Shyft Group, Inc. to open at $11.22, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $10.72 and $11.74, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.513 (+/-4.56%) up or down from last closing price. If The Shyft Group, Inc. takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 9.13% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $11.31 (0.71%) than the support at $10.66 (5.08%), 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.

Is The Shyft Group, Inc. stock A Buy?
