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)

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.

Taylor Devices stock price fell more than -5.42% Thursday closing at $50.60
(Updated on May 02, 2024)

Buy or Hold candidate since Jan 08, 2024 Gain 118.20% PDF

The Taylor Devices stock price fell by -5.42% on the last day (Thursday, 2nd May 2024) from $53.50 to $50.60. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 5.73% from a day low at $50.60 to a day high of $53.50. The price has been going up and down for this period, and there has been a 8.51% gain for the last 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 -3 thousand shares and in total, 12 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $629.11 thousand.

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 $49.02 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 48.21% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $72.66 and $100.27 at the end of this 3-month period.

TAYD Signals & Forecast

The Taylor Devices 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 $51.99. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the long-term average at approximately $49.02. 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. 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 Friday, April 05, 2024, and so far it has fallen -16.78%. 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 along with the price during the last trading day, which is technical positive. One should, however, note that this stock may have low liquidity in periods, which increases the general risk. The stock had a Golden Star Signal on Monday, November 20, 2023 in the long-term chart.

Golden Star Signal is when the short-term moving average, the long-term moving average, and price line meet in a special combination. This combination is very rare and often followed by long and strong gains for the stock in question.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Taylor Devices stock

Taylor Devices finds support from accumulated volume at $49.77 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.

This stock may move much during the day (volatility) and with periodic low trading volume this stock is considered to be "high risk". During the last day, the stock moved $2.90 between high and low, or 5.73%. For the last week the stock has had daily average volatility of 4.91%.

Our recommended stop-loss: $48.51 (-4.14%) (This stock has high daily movements and this gives high risk. There is a sell signal from a pivot top found 19 days ago.)

Trading Expectations (TAYD) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Friday 3rd

For the upcoming trading day on Friday, 3rd we expect Taylor Devices to open at $51.57, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $47.32 and $53.88, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$3.28 (+/-6.49%) up or down from last closing price. If Taylor Devices takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 12.98% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $50.73 (0.26%) than the support at $49.77 (1.64%), 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.
