Snapchat Stock Forecast

Snapchat stock price up more than 5.35% on Wednesday
(Updated on May 01, 2024)

SNAP Signals & Forecast

Mostly positive signals in the chart today. The Snapchat stock holds buy signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a positive forecast for the stock. Also, there is a general buy signal from the relation between the two signals where the short-term average is above the long-term average. On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at $13.40 and $11.61. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Monday, April 15, 2024, and so far it has risen 53.34%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). 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 Snapchat stock

On the downside, the stock finds support just below today's level from accumulated volume at $15.05 and $14.55. 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, Snapchat finds support just below today's level at $15.05. If this is broken, then the next support from accumulated volume will be at $14.55 and $14.49.

This stock may move very much during the day (volatility) and with a very large prediction interval from the Bollinger Band this stock is considered to be "very high risk". During the last day, the stock moved $1.27 between high and low, or 8.48%. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 7.85%.

The Snapchat stock is overbought on RSI14 and lies in the upper part of the trend. Normally this may pose a good selling opportunity for the short-term trader, but some stocks may go long and hard while being overbought and the RSI is still moving upwards. Regardless, the high RSI together with the trend position increases the risk and higher daily movements (volatility) should be expected. A correction down in the nearby future seems very likely, and it is of great importance that the stock manages to break the trend before that occurs.

Our recommended stop-loss: $15.39 (-2.96%) (This stock has very high daily movements and this gives very high risk. The RSI14 is 77 and this increases the risk substantially. There is a buy signal from a pivot bottom found 12 days ago.)

Trading Expectations (SNAP) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Thursday 2nd

For the upcoming trading day on Thursday, 2nd we expect Snap Inc. to open at $15.66, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $15.00 and $16.71, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.85 (+/-5.37%) up or down from last closing price. If Snap Inc. takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 10.75% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the support from accumulated volume at $15.05 (5.08%) than the resistance at $16.75 (5.64%), our systems sees the trading risk/reward intra-day as attractive and believe profit can be made before the stock reaches first resistance..

Is Snap Inc. stock A Buy?

Several short-term signals are positive and we conclude that the current level may hold a buying opportunity, as there is a fair chance for Snapchat stock to perform well in the short-term period. Due to some small weaknesses in the technical picture we have downgraded our analysis conclusion for this stock since the last evaluation from a Strong Buy to a Buy candidate.
