The stockis at the upper part of a horizontal trend and normally this may pose a good selling opportunity but a break-up through the top trend line at $57.83 will give a strong buy signal and a trend shift could be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect Anthem Inc stock with a 90% probability to be traded between $52.78 and $57.74 at the end of this 3-month period. A break of a horizontal trend is often followed by a large increase in the volume, and stocks seldom manage to go directly from the bottom of a trend up to the top. Stocks turning up in the middle of a horizontal trend are therefore considered to be potential runners.

ANTX Signals & Forecast
The Anthem Inc 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 $56.86 and $55.69. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Wednesday, April 25, 2018, and so far it has fallen -1.30%. 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 on the last day without any changes to the price. This does not cause any direct divergence but may be an early warning and a possible "turning point". The very low volume increases the risk and reduces the other technical signals issued.

For the upcoming trading day on Thursday, 17th we expect Anthem Inc to open at $56.86, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $56.38 and $57.34, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.484 (+/-0.85%) up or down from last closing price.
