Dolby Laboratories Stock Forecast
Red day on Wednesday for Dolby Laboratories stock after losing 0.84%
(Updated on Apr 17, 2024)
The Dolby Laboratories stock price fell by -0.84% on the last day (Wednesday, 17th Apr 2024) from $78.64 to $77.98. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 1.36% from a day low at $77.97 to a day high of $79.03. The price has been going up and down for this period, and there has been a -5.9% loss for the last 2 weeks. 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 -41 thousand shares and in total, 220 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $17.17 million.
The stock is at the lower part of a horizontal trend in the short term, and normally this may pose a good buying opportunity, though a breakdown through the bottom trend line at $77.54 will give a strong sell signal and a trend shift may be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect Dolby Laboratories stock with a 90% probability to be traded between $76.90 and $83.19 at the end of this 3-month period. A break of a horizontal trend is often followed by a large increase in the volume, and stocks seldom manage to go directly from the bottom of a trend up to the top. Stocks turning up in the middle of a horizontal trend are therefore considered to be potential runners.

DLB Signals & Forecast
There are few to no technical positive signals at the moment. The Dolby Laboratories 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 $80.24 and $82.47. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Wednesday, March 13, 2024, and so far it has fallen -7.33%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Volume fell together with the price during the last trading day and this reduces the overall risk as volume should follow the price movements.
Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Dolby Laboratories stock
There is no support from accumulated volume below today's level and given the right condition the stock may perform very badly in the next couple of days.
This stock is usually traded at a good volume, and with minor daily changes, the risk is considered to be low. During the last day, the stock moved $1.06 (1.36%) between high and low. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 1.58%.
Dolby Laboratories is oversold on RSI14 (19). Some stocks may drop long and hard while being oversold on RSI before turning, which increases the general risk.
Our recommended stop-loss: We hold a negative evaluation for this stock. No stop-loss is set.
Trading Expectations (DLB) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Thursday 18th
For the upcoming trading day on Thursday, 18th we expect Dolby Laboratories to open at $78.33, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $76.75 and $79.21, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$1.23 (+/-1.58%) up or down from last closing price. If Dolby Laboratories takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 3.17% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
With no support below and resistance from accumulated volume @ $80.26, some $2.28 (2.92%) from the current price of $77.98, our system finds the risk reward not very attractive.
Is Dolby Laboratories stock A Buy?
Dolby Laboratories holds several negative signals and is within a 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.
