Volex PLC 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.

VLX.L Signals & Forecast
The Volex PLC 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 £345.00 and £308.07. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Monday, April 15, 2024, and so far it has risen 29.44%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. 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. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD).
Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Volex PLC stock
On the downside, the stock finds support just below today's level from accumulated volume at £303.00 and £288.00. 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, Volex PLC finds support just below today's level at £303.00. If this is broken, then the next support from accumulated volume will be at £288.00 and £284.00.
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 £10.00 between high and low, or 2.94%. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 3.18%.
The Volex PLC stock is extremely overbought on RSI14 (76). Normally this may pose a good selling opportunity but since the stock has broken the trend up, the chance for a major correction due to high RSI is very small as the stock will find support at the trend broken.
Our recommended stop-loss: £338.27 (-3.21%) (This stock has medium daily movements and this gives medium risk. The RSI14 is 76 and this increases the risk substantially. There is a buy signal from a pivot bottom found 23 days ago.)
Trading Expectations (VLX.L) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 20th
For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 20th we expect Volex PLC to open at £346.50, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between £337.70 and £361.30, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-£11.80 (+/-3.38%) up or down from last closing price. If Volex PLC takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 6.76% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
With no resistance above and support from accumulated volume @ £303.00, some £46.50 (13.30%) from the current price of £349.50, our system finds the risk reward attractive.
