Volume fell on the last day by -273 thousand shares and in total, 467 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $2.99 million.

STKL Signals & Forecast
There are mixed signals in the stock today. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Monday, September 09, 2024, and so far it has fallen -4.47%. 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). The SunOpta 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 $6.07 and $5.81. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. 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 SunOpta stock
On the downside, the stock finds support just below today's level from accumulated volume at $5.98 and $5.30. 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, SunOpta finds support just below today's level at $5.98. If this is broken, then the next support from accumulated volume will be at $5.30 and $5.29.
This stock has average movements during the day and with good trading volume, the risk is considered to be medium. During the last day, the stock moved $0.220 between high and low, or 3.51%. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 7.74%.
Our recommended stop-loss: $6.12 (-4.54%) (This stock has medium daily movements and this gives medium risk. There is a sell signal from a pivot top found 7 days ago.)
Trading Expectations (STKL) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Friday 13th
For the upcoming trading day on Friday, 13th we expect SunOpta to open at $6.38, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $6.12 and $6.70, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.294 (+/-4.59%) up or down from last closing price. If SunOpta takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 9.19% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $6.71 (4.68%) than the support at $5.98 (6.71%), 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.
