CPB Inc Stock Forecast
Explanation to Bollinger's Bands
Bollinger Bands was created by John Bollinger in the early 1980s, its purpose is to define price action relative to the assets highs and lows. This technical indicator is used to identify buy and sell signals and has proven very well in doing so.
Bollinger Bands consist of a set of three curves drawn in relation to securities prices. The middle band is a measure of the intermediate-term trend, usually a simple moving average, that serves as the base for the upper and lower bands. The interval between the upper and lower bands and the middle band is determined by volatility, typically the standard deviation of the same data that were used for the average. StockInvest.us uses Bollingers suggested 20 day average.
Middle Bollinger Band = 20-period simple moving average
Upper Bollinger Band = Middle Bollinger Band + 2 * 20-period standard deviation
Lower Bollinger Band = Middle Bollinger Band - 2 * 20-period standard deviation
BandWidth defines the current width of the band.
%b defines the current position within the band.
BandWidth = (Upper Bollinger Band - Lower Bollinger Band) / Middle Bollinger Band
%b = (Last - Lower Bollinger Band) / (Upper Bollinger Band - Lower Bollinger Band)

Bottlenecks in bandwidth indicate an upcoming change. Break up through the moving average line or continuous movements above the moving average line indicate a break up, and vice versa.

(Updated on Apr 25, 2024)
The CPB Inc stock price gained 4.06% on the last trading day (Thursday, 25th Apr 2024), rising from $19.95 to $20.76. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 5.82% from a day low at $19.69 to a day high of $20.83. The price has fallen in 5 of the last 10 days but is still up by 8.24% over the past 2 weeks. Volume has increased on the last day along with the price, which is a positive technical sign, and, in total, 166 thousand more shares were traded than the day before. In total, 386 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $8.02 million.
The stock has broken the horizontal trend up. Breaks like this are often followed by swift and strong movements, and any correction down to the breakline at approximately. $19.85 is considered to be a "second chance" to hit a potential runner. It is, however, important that volume does follow the price as false breaks may appear and it may move back into the horizontal trend. Based on the rectangle-formation theory the stock is predicted to reach $21.23 sometime during the next 3 months.

CPF Signals & Forecast
The CPB Inc stock holds buy signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a positive forecast for the stock. Also, 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 $19.54 and $19.21. A breakdown 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.

Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD).
