Agilent Technologies Inc Stock Forecast
Agilent Technologies Inc stock downgraded to Sell Candidate
(Updated on Apr 24, 2024)
The Agilent Technologies Inc stock price fell by -1.23% on the last day (Wednesday, 24th Apr 2024) from $139.20 to $137.49. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 2.70% from a day low at $136.21 to a day high of $139.89. The price has fallen in 6 of the last 10 days and is down by -4.63% 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 -723 thousand shares and in total, 1 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $172.75 million.
The stock lies in the lower part of a wide and weak rising trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good buying opportunity. If the lower trend floor at $133.16 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 7.79% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $143.54 and $167.38 at the end of this 3-month period.

A Signals & Forecast
A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Thursday, April 18, 2024, and so far it has risen 3.81%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The Agilent Technologies Inc 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 $143.62. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the short-term average at $135.30. 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. 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.

For the upcoming trading day on Thursday, 25th we expect Agilent Technologies Inc to open at $137.86, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $133.92 and $141.06, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$3.57 (+/-2.60%) up or down from last closing price.
