American Shared Hospital Services Stock Forecast
Stronger technical forecast for American Shared Hospital Services stock price after Wednesday trading.
(Updated on Apr 24, 2024)
The American Shared Hospital Services stock price gained 0.83% on the last trading day (Wednesday, 24th Apr 2024), rising from $3.00 to $3.02. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 3.40% from a day low at $2.94 to a day high of $3.04. The price has risen in 6 of the last 10 days and is up by 3.25% over the past 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day by -798 shares and in total, 15 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $45.48 thousand. You should take into consideration that falling volume on higher prices causes divergence and may be an early warning about possible changes over the next couple of days.
The stock lies in the upper part of a wide and strong rising trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good selling opportunity for the short-term trader as reaction back towards the lower part of the trend can be expected. A break-up at the top trend line at $3.05 will firstly indicate a stronger rate of rising. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to rise 11.00% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $2.98 and $3.39 at the end of this 3-month period.

AMS Signals & Forecast
The American Shared Hospital Services stock holds buy signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a positive forecast for the stock. Also, there is a general buy signal from the relation between the two signals where the short-term average is above the long-term average. On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at $2.98 and $2.81. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Tuesday, March 19, 2024, and so far it has risen 17.97%. 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. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Volume fell during the last trading day while the price increased. This causes a divergence and may be considered as an early warning, but it may not be. The very low volume increases the risk and reduces the other technical signals issued.
