Vertex Stock Forecast
Big movements in Vertex stock price on Monday moving 15.63% between high and low
(Updated on Apr 22, 2024)
The Vertex stock price gained 4.03% on the last trading day (Monday, 22nd Apr 2024), rising from $1.49 to $1.55. It has now gained 3 days in a row. It will be exciting to see whether it manages to continue gaining or take a minor break for the next few days. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 15.63% from a day low at $1.34 to a day high of $1.55. The price has fallen in 6 of the last 10 days but is still up by 22.05% over the past 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day by -4 million shares and in total, 4 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $6.09 million. You should take into consideration that falling volume on higher prices causes divergence and may be an early warning about possible changes over the next couple of days.
Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to fall -21.22% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $0.755 and $1.22 at the end of this 3-month period. Do note, that if the stock price manages to stay at current levels or higher, our prediction target will start to change positively over the next few days as the conditions for the current predictions will be broken.

VTNR Signals & Forecast
The Vertex 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 $1.20 and $1.27. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Wednesday, April 17, 2024, and so far it has risen 58.29%. 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 Vertex stock
Vertex finds support from accumulated volume at $1.49 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 very much during the day (volatility) and with a very large prediction interval from the Bollinger Band this stock is considered to be "very high risk". During the last day, the stock moved $0.210 between high and low, or 15.63%. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 16.47%.
Our recommended stop-loss: $1.50 (-3.24%) (This stock has very high daily movements and this gives very high risk. There is a buy signal from a pivot bottom found 3 days ago.)
Trading Expectations (VTNR) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Tuesday 23rd
For the upcoming trading day on Tuesday, 23rd we expect Vertex Energy to open at $1.48, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $1.40 and $1.70, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.149 (+/-9.59%) up or down from last closing price. If Vertex Energy takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 19.17% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
