Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Sun Life Financial Inc stock

On the downside, the stock finds support just below today's level from accumulated volume at $73.02 and $73.01. 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, Sun Life Financial Inc finds support just below today's level at $73.02. If this is broken, then the next support from accumulated volume will be at $73.01 and $70.28.

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 $1.31 between high and low, or 1.67%. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 1.19%.

Since the Sun Life Financial Inc has been rising for 6 days in a row, the risk over the next couple of days has increased. As we cannot be certain with regards to the size of the reaction, we urge caution.

Our recommended stop-loss: $76.86 (-3.50%) (This stock has medium daily movements and this gives medium risk. There is a buy signal from a pivot bottom found 38 days ago.)

Trading Expectations (SLF) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 6th

For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 6th we expect Sun Life Financial Inc to open at $79.22, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $79.09 and $80.21, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$1.12 (+/-1.41%) up or down from last closing price. If Sun Life Financial Inc takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 1.41% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

With no resistance above and support from accumulated volume @ $73.02, some $6.63 (8.32%) from the current price of $79.65, our system finds the risk reward attractive.

Is Sun Life Financial Inc stock A Buy?

Sun Life Financial Inc holds several positive signals, but we still don't find these to be enough for a buy candidate. At the current level, it should be considered as a hold candidate (hold or accumulate) in this position whilst awaiting further development. Due to some small weaknesses in the technical picture we have downgraded our analysis conclusion for this stock since the last evaluation from a Buy to a Hold candidate.

Current score: 0.000 Hold/Accumulate Downgraded

Zero in score indicates that our system is expecting high volatility and risk for the following trading day. Given the latest developments, we cannot determine the next direction as it may go both ways.
