Southern California Gas Co. Stock Forecast

Red day on Friday for Southern California Gas Co. stock after losing 1.31%
(Updated on Jun 28, 2024)

SOCGP Signals & Forecast

The Southern California Gas Co. 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 $25.88. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the long-term average at approximately $25.58. 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. Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). 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, June 24, 2024, and so far it has fallen -1.35%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Southern California Gas Co. gained volume on the last day, but on falling prices. In technical terms, this is called divergence and may be an early warning. In some cases, increasing volume on falling prices may be considered positive, but that is mainly in typical "sell-offs". The very low volume increases the risk and reduces the other technical signals issued.

Trading Expectations (SOCGP) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 1st

For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 1st we expect Southern California Gas Co. to open at $25.65, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $25.39 and $25.91, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.264 (+/-1.03%) up or down from last closing price. If Southern California Gas Co. takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 2.06% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $25.85 (0.78%) than the support at $25.31 (1.33%), 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 Southern California Gas Co. stock A Buy?

Southern California Gas Co. 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.

Current score: 0.000 Hold/Accumulate Unchanged
