EQTEC 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)
Live Samples:
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 22, 2024)
The EQTEC stock price gained 3.60% on the last trading day (Monday, 22nd Apr 2024), rising from $36.65 to $37.97. It has now gained 3 days in a row. It will be exciting to see whether it manages to continue gaining or take a minor break for the next few days. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 4.66% from a day low at $36.45 to a day high of $38.15. The price has fallen in 6 of the last 10 days but is still up by 3.07% 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, 5 million more shares were traded than the day before. In total, 9 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $332.23 million.
The stock lies in the upper part of a wide and weak rising 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 $38.88 will firstly indicate a stronger rate of rising. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to rise 4.49% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $35.57 and $40.62 at the end of this 3-month period.

Trading Expectations (EQT) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Tuesday 23rd
For the upcoming trading day on Tuesday, 23rd we expect EQTEC plc to open at $37.52, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $36.98 and $38.96, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.99 (+/-2.62%) up or down from last closing price. If EQTEC plc takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 5.24% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $37.99 (0.05%) than the support at $34.61 (8.85%), 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.
