ASTC Signals & Forecast

The Astrotech Corporation stock holds a sell signal from the short-term Moving Average; at the same time, however, there is a buy signal from the long-term average. 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 $9.63. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the long-term average at approximately $8.81. A break-up through the short-term average will send a buy signal, whereas a breakdown through the long-term average will send a sell signal. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Wednesday, April 17, 2024, and so far it has fallen 0%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. 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. 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.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Astrotech Corporation stock

On the downside, the stock finds support just below today's level from accumulated volume at $8.88 and $8.85. There is a natural risk involved when a stock is testing a support level, since if this is broken, the stock then may fall to the next support level. In this case, Astrotech Corporation finds support just below today's level at $8.88. If this is broken, then the next support from accumulated volume will be at $8.85 and $8.30.

In general the stock tends to have very controlled movements and therefore the general risk is considered very low. However, be aware of low or falling volume and make sure to keep an eye on the stock During the last day, the stock moved $0 between high and low, or 0%. For the last week the stock has had daily average volatility of 4.35%

Our recommended stop-loss: $8.99 (-5.80%) (This stock has low daily movements and this gives low risk. There is a buy signal from a pivot bottom found 1 day ago.)

Trading Expectations (ASTC) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Friday 19th

For the upcoming trading day on Friday, 19th we expect Astrotech Corporation to open at $9.54, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $9.12 and $9.96, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.424 (+/-4.44%) up or down from last closing price. If Astrotech Corporation takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 8.89% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $9.55 (0.10%) than the support at $8.88 (6.92%), 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.
