Since the short-term average is above the long-term average there is a general buy signal in the stock giving a positive forecast for the stock. On further gains, the stock will meet resistance from the short-term Moving Average at approximately $14.22. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the long-term average at approximately $12.23.

Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). 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, March 06, 2024, and so far it has fallen -8.80%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Volume fell along with the price during the last trading day, which is technical positive.

Trading Expectations (APEI) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 1st

For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 1st we expect American Public Education to open at $14.40, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $13.26 and $15.14, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.94 (+/-6.65%) up or down from last closing price. If American Public Education takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 13.29% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $14.66 (3.24%) than the support at $13.63 (4.01%), our systems don't find the trading risk/reward intra-day attractive and any bets should be held until the stock is closer to the support level.
