(Updated on Apr 17, 2024)
The Addus HomeCare Corporation stock price fell by -0.381% on the last day (Wednesday, 17th Apr 2024) from $96.99 to $96.62. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 3.32% from a day low at $96.33 to a day high of $99.52. The price has fallen in 8 of the last 10 days and is down by -5.82% 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.

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 $95.85 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 15.89% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $111.09 and $124.07 at the end of this 3-month period.
ADUS Signals & Forecast
There are few to no technical positive signals at the moment. The Addus HomeCare Corporation 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 $97.59 and $99.46. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Wednesday, March 27, 2024, and so far it has fallen -6.86%. 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.

For the upcoming trading day on Thursday, 18th we expect Addus HomeCare Corporation to open at $97.49, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $94.15 and $99.09, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$2.47 (+/-2.56%) up or down from last closing price.
