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)

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.

Weaker technical forecast for WhiteHorse Finance as stock downgraded to Hold/Accumulate.
(Updated on May 03, 2024)

Buy or Hold candidate since Apr 18, 2024 Gain 1.35% PDF

The WhiteHorse Finance stock price fell by -1.77% on the last day (Friday, 3rd May 2024) from $13.02 to $12.79. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 2.42% from a day low at $12.79 to a day high of $13.10. The price has been going up and down for this period, and there has been a 0.79% gain for the last 2 weeks. Volume has increased on the last day by 29 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, 89 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $1.13 million.

The stock is moving within a horizontal trend and further movements within this trend can be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect WhiteHorse Finance stock with a 90% probability to be traded between $12.23 and $13.12 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.

WHF Signals & Forecast

The WhiteHorse Finance stock holds a sell signal from the short-term Moving Average; at the same time, however, there is a buy signal from the long-term average. Since the short-term average is above the long-term average there is a general buy signal in the stock giving a positive forecast for the stock. On further gains, the stock will meet resistance from the short-term Moving Average at approximately $12.89. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the long-term average at approximately $12.56. A break-up through the short-term average will send a buy signal, whereas a breakdown through the long-term average will send a sell signal. 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. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Thursday, May 02, 2024, and so far it has fallen -1.77%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. WhiteHorse Finance gained volume on the last day, but on falling prices. In technical terms, this is called divergence and may be an early warning. In some cases, increasing volume on falling prices may be considered positive, but that is mainly in typical "sell-offs". The stock had a Golden Star Signal on Tuesday, April 16, 2024 in the short-term chart.

Golden Star Signal is when the short-term moving average, the long-term moving average, and price line meet in a special combination. This combination is very rare and often followed by long and strong gains for the stock in question.

Trading Expectations (WHF) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 6th

For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 6th we expect WhiteHorse Finance to open at $12.89, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $12.53 and $13.05, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.258 (+/-2.02%) up or down from last closing price. If WhiteHorse Finance takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 4.04% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $12.87 (0.63%) than the support at $12.34 (3.52%), 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.
