Red day on Thursday for Western Gas Partners LP stock after losing 1.65%
(Updated on Jun 18, 2026)
The Western Gas Partners LP stock price fell by -1.65% on the last day (Thursday, 18th Jun 2026) from $43.68 to $42.96. It has now fallen 4 days in a row. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 2.47% from a day low at $42.58 to a day high of $43.63. The price has fallen in 8 of the last 10 days and is down by -4.72% for this period. Volume has increased on the last day by 3 million 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, 4 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $155.17 million.
The stock has broken the wide and weak rising short-term trend down. This signalizes a slower rate of rising, but may also be an early warning about a possible trend shift. Due to the trend being broken there will now be resistance at the bottom line of the trend at $43.82. A reaction back to this level may hold a second chance to get out before further falls.
