(Updated on Dec 08, 2021)

The Simpson Manufacturing Company Inc stock price fell by -0.44% on the last day (Wednesday, 8th Dec 2021) from $130.62 to $130.04. During the day the stock fluctuated 2.46% from a day low at $127.92 to a day high of $131.06. The price has risen in 6 of the last 10 days and is up by 7.94% over the past 2 weeks. 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 -107 thousand shares and in total, 189 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $24.59 million.

The stock lies in the upper part of a wide and strong rising trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good selling opportunity for the short-term trader as reaction back towards the lower part of the trend can be expected. A break-up at the top trend line at $130.89 will firstly indicate a stronger rate of rising. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to rise 15.17% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $130.11 and $150.75 at the end of this 3-month period.

Signals & Forecast

The Simpson Manufacturing Company Inc 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 $123.70 and $117.82. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. 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 Tuesday, December 07, 2021, and so far it has fallen -0.44%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Volume fell together with the price during the last trading day and this reduces the overall risk as volume should follow the price movements.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss

On the downside, the stock finds support just below today's level from accumulated volume at $123.25 and $110.77.
