Stronger technical forecast for Western Alliance Bancorporation stock price after Thursday trading.
(Updated on May 02, 2024)
The Western Alliance Bancorporation stock price gained 2.06% on the last trading day (Thursday, 2nd May 2024), rising from $58.75 to $59.96. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 2.06% from a day low at $58.78 to a day high of $59.99. The price has risen in 6 of the last 10 days and is up by 7.57% over the past 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day by -297 thousand shares and in total, 759 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $45.52 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 stock is moving within a wide and horizontal trend and further movements within this trend can be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect Western Alliance Bancorporation stock with a 90% probability to be traded between $54.22 and $62.81 at the end of this 3-month period. A break of a horizontal trend is often followed by a large increase in the volume, and stocks seldom manage to go directly from the bottom of a trend up to the top. Stocks turning up in the middle of a horizontal trend are therefore considered to be potential runners.

WAL Signals & Forecast
Mostly positive signals in the chart today. The Western Alliance Bancorporation 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 $58.62 and $59.35. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Tuesday, April 16, 2024, and so far it has risen 8.47%. 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 stock should be watched closely.

For the upcoming trading day on Friday, 3rd we expect Western Alliance Bancorporation to open at $59.58, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $57.87 and $62.05, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$2.09 (+/-3.49%) up or down from last closing price.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $60.28 (0.53%) than the support at $59.15 (1.35%), 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.
