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.

WHY.V Signals & Forecast

The West High Yield (W.H.Y.) Resources Ltd. stock holds buy signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a positive forecast for the stock. Also, there is a general buy signal from the relation between the two signals where the short-term average is above the long-term average. On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at $0.411 and $0.332. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. 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 Wednesday, June 19, 2024, and so far it has fallen -11.70%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. 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 not be. The very low volume increases the risk and reduces the other technical signals issued.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for West High Yield (W.H.Y.) Resources Ltd. stock

On the downside, the stock finds support just below today's level from accumulated volume at $0.375 and $0.320. There is a natural risk involved when a stock is testing a support level, since if this is broken, the stock then may fall to the next support level. In this case, West High Yield (W.H.Y.) Resources Ltd. finds support just below today's level at $0.375. If this is broken, then the next support from accumulated volume will be at $0.320 and $0.315.

Our recommended stop-loss: $0.394 (-5.12%) (This stock has very high daily movements and this gives very high risk. There is a sell signal from a pivot top found 38 days ago.)

For the upcoming trading day on Friday, 5th we expect West High Yield (W.H.Y.)

If West High Yield (W.H.Y.) Resources Ltd. takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 15.22% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $0.430 (3.61%) than the support at $0.375 (9.64%), 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.
