BCBP Signals & Forecast
A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Wednesday, April 17, 2024, and so far it has risen 2.26%. 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. The BCB Bancorp stock holds sell signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a more negative forecast for the stock. Also, there is a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average. On corrections up, there will be some resistance from the lines at $9.62 and $10.11. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. 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 also not.

Trading Expectations (BCBP) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Friday 19th
For the upcoming trading day on Friday, 19th we expect BCB Bancorp to open at $9.49, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $9.15 and $9.89, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.370 (+/-3.89%) up or down from last closing price. If BCB Bancorp takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 7.77% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $9.72 (2.10%) than the support at $9.31 (2.21%), 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.
Is BCB Bancorp stock A Buy?
BCB Bancorp holds several negative signals and is within a wide and falling trend, so we believe it will still perform weakly in the next couple of days or weeks. We therefore hold a negative evaluation of this stock.
