WESCO International Inc 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.

WESCO International Inc stock price down 2.20% on Tuesday
(Updated on Jun 25, 2024)
The WESCO International Inc stock price fell by -2.20% on the last day (Tuesday, 25th Jun 2024) from $163.89 to $160.29. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 3.63% from a day low at $157.87 to a day high of $163.60. The price has fallen in 7 of the last 10 days and is down by -10.82% for this period. Volume has increased on the last day by 142 thousand shares but on falling prices. This may be an early warning and the risk will be increased slightly over the next couple of days. In total, 685 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $109.77 million.
The stock lies in the lower part of a wide and weak rising trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good buying opportunity. If the lower trend floor at $159.31 is broken, it will firstly indicate a slower rate of rising, but may also be an early warning for a trend shift. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to rise 5.82% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $168.59 and $205.97 at the end of this 3-month period.

WCC Signals & Forecast
There are few to no technical positive signals at the moment. The WESCO International Inc stock holds sell signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a more negative forecast for the stock. Also, there is a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average. On corrections up, there will be some resistance from the lines at $164.01 and $176.76. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Friday, May 24, 2024, and so far it has fallen -16.16%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Volume rose on falling prices yesterday. This may be an early warning and the stock should be followed more closely.
