Signals
CenterPoint Energy Inc holds buy signals from both short- and long-term moving averages. In addition, 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 $30.82 and $29.76. A break down below any of these levels will issue sell signals. Volume is rising along with the price. This is considered to be a good technical signal. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. A sales signal was issued from a pivot top point on Monday February 04, 2019, which indicates further falls until a new bottom pivot has been found.
Relative Strength Index (RSI)
The stock holds a RSI14 at 74 and is currently being overbought on RSI. This does not have to be a sales signal as many stocks may go both long and hard while being overbought on the RSI. It is therefore important to evaluate the history of the share as it may tell you something about the RSI-sensitiveness.
Support & Resistance
On the downside, the stock finds support just below today's level from accumulated volume at $29.34 and $28.37.
There is 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, CenterPoint Energy Inc finds support just below today's level at $29.34. If this is broken, then the next support from accumulated volume will be at $28.37 and $28.01.
Risk
This stock is usually traded at good volume, and with minor daily changes the risk is considered to be low. During the last day, the stock moved $0.30 (0.98%) between high and low. For the last week, the stock has had a daily average volatility of 1.10%.
Our recommended stoploss: $29.73 (-3.76%) (This stock has low daily movements and this gives low risk. The RSI14 is 74 and this increases the risk substantially. There is a sell signal from pivot top found 9 days ago.)
Overall risk:
Very Low Low Medium High Very High
Evaluation: Buy Candidate
Several short-term signals, along with a general good trend, are positive and we conclude that the current level may hold a buying opportunity as there is a fair chance for this stock to perform well in the short-term.
