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:

Bollinger Bottleneck Buy Pattern 1
Bollinger Bottleneck Buy Pattern 2
Bollinger Bottleneck Sell Pattern

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.

Vanguard High Dividend Yield Index Fund ETF downgraded to Hold/Accumulate
(Updated on May 10, 2024)

Buy or Hold candidate since May 02, 2024 Gain 2.92% PDF

The Vanguard High Dividend Yield Index Fund ETF price gained 0.326% on the last trading day (Friday, 10th May 2024), rising from $119.48 to $119.87. It has now gained 7 days in a row. It is not often that ETFS manage to gain so many days in a row, and falls for a day or two should be expected. During the last trading day the ETF fluctuated 0.284% from a day low at $119.67 to a day high of $120.01. The price has risen in 8 of the last 10 days and is up by 2.13% over the past 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day by -109 thousand shares and in total, 720 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $86.34 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.

The ETF lies in the middle of a weak rising trend in the short term and a further rise within the trend is signaled. Given the current short-term trend, the ETF is expected to rise 2.75% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $118.79 and $125.95 at the end of this 3-month period.

VYM Signals & Forecast

The Vanguard High Dividend Yield Index Fund ETF 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 $118.23 and $117.98. 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 4.50%. 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 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 ETF should be watched closely.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Vanguard High Dividend Yield Index Fund ETF

Vanguard High Dividend Yield Index Fund finds support from accumulated volume at $119.69 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.

In general the ETF tends to have very controlled movements and with good liquidity the risk is considered very low in this stock. During the last day, the ETF moved $0.340 between high and low, or 0.284%. For the last week the ETF has had daily average volatility of 0.533%.

Since the Vanguard High Dividend Yield Index Fund has been rising for 7 days in a row, the risk over the next couple of days has increased. As we cannot be certain with regards to the size of the reaction, we urge caution.

Our recommended stop-loss: $114.03 (-4.87%) (This ETF has low daily movements and this gives low risk. There is a buy signal from a pivot bottom found 17 days ago.)

Trading Expectations (VYM) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 13th

For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 13th we expect Vanguard High Dividend Yield Index Fund ETF Shares to open at $119.85, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $118.83 and $120.91, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$1.04 (+/-0.87%) up or down from last closing price. If Vanguard High Dividend Yield Index Fund ETF Shares takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 1.74% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the support from accumulated volume at $119.69 (0.15%) than the resistance at $120.53 (0.55%), our systems sees the trading risk/reward intra-day as attractive and believe profit can be made before the stock reaches first resistance..
