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.

UOG.L Signals & Forecast

A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Friday, June 28, 2024, and so far it has risen 23.75%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. 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. The United Oil & Gas Plc stock holds a buy signal from the short-term Moving Average; at the same time, however, the long-term average holds a general sell signal. Since the longterm average is above the short-term average there is a general sell signal in the stock giving a more negative forecast for the stock. On further gains, the stock will meet resistance from the long-term Moving Average at £0.200. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the short-term average at £0.175. A break-up through the long-term average will give another buy signal, while a fall below the short-term average will add another sell signal and strengthen the general signal.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for United Oil & Gas Plc stock

On the downside, the stock finds support just below today's level from accumulated volume at £0.187 and £0.185. 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, United Oil & Gas Plc finds support just below today's level at £0.187. If this is broken, then the next support from accumulated volume will be at £0.185 and £0.170.

This stock may move much during the day (volatility) and with a large prediction interval from the Bollinger Band this stock is considered to be "high risk". During the last day, the stock moved £0.0478 between high and low, or 29.88%. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 13.74%.

Our recommended stop-loss: £0.190 (-3.90%) (This stock has high daily movements and this gives high risk. There is a buy signal from a pivot bottom found 29 days ago.)

Trading Expectations (UOG.L) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Thursday 4th

For the upcoming trading day on Thursday, 4th we expect United Oil & Gas Plc to open at £0.189, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between £0.173 and £0.223, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-£0.0252 (+/-12.75%) up or down from last closing price. If United Oil & Gas Plc takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 25.49% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at £0.200 (1.01%) than the support at £0.187 (5.81%), 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.
