AKAM Signals & Forecast
There are mixed signals in the stock today. The Akamai Technologies 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 $106.37. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the short-term average at $101.31. 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 rose on falling prices yesterday. This may be an early warning and the stock should be followed more closely. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Wednesday, April 17, 2024, and so far it has risen 1.45%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found.

For the upcoming trading day on Friday, 26th we expect Akamai Technologies to open at $101.41, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $100.10 and $103.48, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$1.69 (+/-1.66%) up or down from last closing price.
