The STAAR Surgical Company stock price gained 1.90% on the last trading day (Thursday, 2nd May 2024), rising from $44.69 to $45.54. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 3.15% from a day low at $44.38 to a day high of $45.78.

Volume fell on the last day by -253 thousand shares and in total, 401 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $18.26 million. You should take into consideration that falling volume on higher prices causes divergence and may be an early warning about possible changes over the next couple of days.
The stock lies in the lower part of a very wide and strong rising trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good buying opportunity. If the lower trend floor at $45.05 is broken, it will firstly indicate a slower rate of rising, but may also be an early warning for a trend shift. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to rise 61.20% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $72.63 and $94.19 at the end of this 3-month period.

STAA Signals & Forecast
A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Tuesday, April 09, 2024, and so far it has fallen -12.84%. 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). Some positive signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The STAAR Surgical Company 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 $46.47. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the long-term average at approximately $43.88. 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. 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.
