Green day on Thursday for Western Asset Bond Fund
(Updated on Apr 18, 2024)

Hold candidate since Apr 17, 2024 Gain 0.57% PDF

The Western Asset Bond Fund stock price gained 0.570% on the last trading day (Thursday, 18th Apr 2024), rising from $10.53 to $10.59. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 0.379% from a day low at $10.56 to a day high of $10.60. The price has risen in 5 of the last 10 days but is still down by -0.94% for this period. Volume fell on the last day by -17 thousand shares and in total, 33 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $347.05 thousand. 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 lies the upper part of a narrow and falling trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good selling opportunity for the short-term trader as reaction back towards the lower part of the trend can be expected. A break up at the top trend line at $10.64 will firstly indicate a slower falling rate, but may be the first sign of a trend shift. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to fall -6.46% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $9.60 and $9.95 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.

WEA Signals & Forecast

A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Thursday, March 21, 2024, and so far it has risen 0.95%. 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). Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The Western Asset Bond Fund stock holds a buy signal from the short-term Moving Average; at the same time, however, the long-term average holds a general sell signal. Since the longterm average is above the short-term average there is a general sell signal in the stock giving a more negative forecast for the stock. On further gains, the stock will meet resistance from the long-term Moving Average at $10.64. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the short-term average at $10.56. A break-up through the long-term average will give another buy signal, while a fall below the short-term average will add another sell signal and strengthen the general signal. Volume fell during the last trading day while the price increased. This causes a divergence and may be considered as an early warning, but it may also not.
