SpartanNash Company Stock Forecast
Explanation to Bollinger's Bands
Bollinger Bands was created by John Bollinger in the early 1980s, its purpose is to define price action relative to the assets highs and lows. This technical indicator is used to identify buy and sell signals and has proven very well in doing so.
Bollinger Bands consist of a set of three curves drawn in relation to securities prices. The middle band is a measure of the intermediate-term trend, usually a simple moving average, that serves as the base for the upper and lower bands. The interval between the upper and lower bands and the middle band is determined by volatility, typically the standard deviation of the same data that were used for the average. StockInvest.us uses Bollingers suggested 20 day average.
Middle Bollinger Band = 20-period simple moving average
Upper Bollinger Band = Middle Bollinger Band + 2 * 20-period standard deviation
Lower Bollinger Band = Middle Bollinger Band - 2 * 20-period standard deviation
BandWidth defines the current width of the band.
%b defines the current position within the band.
BandWidth = (Upper Bollinger Band - Lower Bollinger Band) / Middle Bollinger Band
%b = (Last - Lower Bollinger Band) / (Upper Bollinger Band - Lower Bollinger Band)
Live Samples:
Bottlenecks in bandwidth indicate an upcoming change. Break up through the moving average line or continuous movements above the moving average line indicate a break up, and vice versa.

SpartanNash Company stock upgraded to Sell Candidate.
(Updated on Jul 02, 2024)
The SpartanNash Company stock price fell by -0.110% on the last day (Tuesday, 2nd Jul 2024) from $18.26 to $18.24. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 0.96% from a day low at $18.18 to a day high of $18.36. The price has fallen in 8 of the last 10 days and is down by -3.7% for this period. Volume fell on the last day along with the stock, which is actually a good sign as volume should follow the stock. On the last day, the trading volume fell by -108 thousand shares and in total, 196 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $3.58 million.
The stock has broken the wide and horizontal trend down. Breaks like this are often followed by swift and strong movements, and any correction down to the breakline at approximately $18.41 is considered to be a "second chance" to get out before further fall. It is, however, important to note that false breaks may appear and that the price may move back into the horizontal trend. A break on increasing volume is considered to be more significant and reliable than breaks on low volume.

SPTN Signals & Forecast
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. The SpartanNash Company 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 $18.52 and $19.55. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Thursday, May 16, 2024, and so far it has fallen -13.23%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Volume fell together with the price during the last trading day and this reduces the overall risk as volume should follow the price movements.

Trading Expectations (SPTN) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Wednesday 3rd
For the upcoming trading day on Wednesday, 3rd we expect SpartanNash Company to open at $18.26, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $17.84 and $18.64, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.403 (+/-2.21%) up or down from last closing price. If SpartanNash Company takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 4.42% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
With no support below and resistance from accumulated volume @ $18.54, some $0.300 (1.64%) from the current price of $18.24, our system finds the risk reward not very attractive.
