Watkin Jones Plc 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.

Watkin Jones Plc stock upgraded from Sell Candidate to Hold/Accumulate after Friday trading session.
(Updated on Jun 28, 2024)
The Watkin Jones Plc stock price gained 4.06% on the last trading day (Friday, 28th Jun 2024), rising from £43.15 to £44.90. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 2.46% from a day low at £44.80 to a day high of £45.90. The price has risen in 5 of the last 10 days but is still down by -2.92% for this period. Volume has increased on the last day along with the price, which is a positive technical sign, and, in total, 1 million more shares were traded than the day before. In total, 1 million shares were bought and sold for approximately £62.46 million.
The stock lies in the lower part of a very wide and strong rising trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good buying opportunity. If the lower trend floor at £43.40 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 15.11% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between £49.96 and £65.49 at the end of this 3-month period.

WJG.L Signals & Forecast
There are mixed signals in the stock today. The Watkin Jones Plc 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 £45.34 and £48.44. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Wednesday, June 26, 2024, and so far it has risen 4.06%. 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). Volume is rising along with the price. This is considered to be a good technical signal.

Trading Expectations (WJG.L) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 1st
For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 1st we expect Watkin Jones Plc to open at £45.20, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between £42.70 and £47.10, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-£2.20 (+/-4.90%) up or down from last closing price. If Watkin Jones Plc takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 9.80% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the support from accumulated volume at £44.00 (2.00%) than the resistance at £46.95 (4.57%), our systems sees the trading risk/reward intra-day as attractive and believe profit can be made before the stock reaches first resistance..
Is Watkin Jones Plc stock A Buy?
Watkin Jones Plc holds several positive signals, but we still don't find these to be enough for a buy candidate. At the current level, it should be considered as a hold candidate (hold or accumulate) in this position whilst awaiting further development. We have upgraded our analysis conclusion for this stock since the last evaluation from a Sell to a Hold/Accumulate candidate.
Current score: 0.000 Hold/Accumulate Upgraded
