Scorpio Tankers 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.

STNG Signals & Forecast
The Scorpio Tankers stock holds buy signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a positive forecast for the stock, but the stock has a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average. On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at $70.56 and $71.08. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Volume is rising along with the price. This is considered to be a good technical signal. 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 Wednesday, April 03, 2024, and so far it has fallen -0.642%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found.
Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Scorpio Tankers stock
Scorpio Tankers finds support from accumulated volume at $70.38 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.
In general the stock tends to have very controlled movements and with good liquidity the risk is considered very low in this stock. During the last day, the stock moved $1.50 between high and low, or 2.09%. For the last week the stock has had daily average volatility of 2.43%.
Since the Scorpio Tankers has been rising for 6 days in a row, the risk over the next couple of days has increased. We don't expect a major reaction as the stock is in very good shape technically, and therefore hold a positive evaluation despite the very short term risk.
Our recommended stop-loss: $69.95 (-3.88%) (This stock has low daily movements and this gives low risk. There is a sell signal from a pivot top found 17 days ago.)
Trading Expectations (STNG) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 29th
For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 29th we expect Scorpio Tankers Inc to open at $72.51, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $70.91 and $74.63, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$1.86 (+/-2.55%) up or down from last closing price. If Scorpio Tankers Inc takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 5.10% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $73.05 (0.38%) than the support at $70.38 (3.28%), 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.

We have upgraded our analysis conclusion for this stock since the last evaluation from a Hold/Accumulate to a Buy candidate.
