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.

Exxon stock price down 0.204% on Tuesday
(Updated on May 14, 2024)

Sell candidate since May 10, 2024 Loss -0.25% PDF

The Exxon stock price fell by -0.204% on the last day (Tuesday, 14th May 2024) from $117.91 to $117.67. It has now fallen 3 days in a row. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 1.08% from a day low at $116.48 to a day high of $117.74. The price has fallen in 7 of the last 10 days and is down by -0.51% for this period. Volume fell on the last day along with the stock, which is actually a good sign as volume should follow the stock. On the last day, the trading volume fell by -69 thousand shares and in total, 15 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $1.76 billion.

The stock lies in the lower part of a 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 $117.32 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 15.97% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $136.05 and $149.83 at the end of this 3-month period.

XOM Signals & Forecast

There are mixed signals in the stock today. The Exxon 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 $118.64. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the short-term average at $117.29. 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. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Wednesday, April 10, 2024, and so far it has fallen -3.71%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Volume fell together with the price during the last trading day and this reduces the overall risk as volume should follow the price movements.

Trading Expectations (XOM) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Wednesday 15th

For the upcoming trading day on Wednesday, 15th we expect Exxon Mobil Corporation to open at $117.30, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $115.65 and $119.69, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$2.02 (+/-1.72%) up or down from last closing price. If Exxon Mobil Corporation takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 3.44% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $117.96 (0.25%) than the support at $116.75 (0.78%), 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.

Exxon holds several negative signals and we believe that it will still perform weakly in the next couple of days or weeks. We, therefore, hold a negative evaluation of this stock.
