BCE Inc. Stock Forecast
Red day on Thursday for BCE Inc. stock after losing 0.180%
(Updated on Apr 18, 2024)
The BCE Inc. stock price fell by -0.180% on the last day (Thursday, 18th Apr 2024) from $44.42 to $44.34. It has now fallen 3 days in a row. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 0.93% from a day low at $44.16 to a day high of $44.57. The price has fallen in 7 of the last 10 days and is down by -1.34% for this period. Volume fell on the last day along with the stock, which is actually a good sign as volume should follow the stock. On the last day, the trading volume fell by -678 thousand shares and in total, 1 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $61.32 million.
The stock lies the upper part of a narrow and falling 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 $44.48 will firstly indicate a slower falling rate, but may be the first sign of a trend shift. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to fall -21.22% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $33.83 and $35.04 at the end of this 3-month period. Do note, that if the stock price manages to stay at current levels or higher, our prediction target will start to change positively over the next few days as the conditions for the current predictions will be broken.

BCE.TO Signals & Forecast
There are mixed signals in the stock today. The BCE Inc. 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 $44.55 and $46.49. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. Volume fell together with the price during the last trading day and this reduces the overall risk as volume should follow the price movements.

For the upcoming trading day on Friday, 19th we expect BCE Inc. to open at $44.36, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $43.62 and $45.06, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.724 (+/-1.63%) up or down from last closing price.
