ESP.L Signals & Forecast
There are few to no technical positive signals at the moment. The Espey Manufacturing & Electronics Corp 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 £89.99 and £92.67. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Friday, March 22, 2024, and so far it has fallen -8.80%. 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 Espey Manufacturing & Electronics Corp 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.

Trading Expectations (ESP.L) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Thursday 18th
For the upcoming trading day on Thursday, 18th we expect Espey Manufacturing & Electronics Corp to open at £88.30, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between £86.52 and £89.68, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-£1.58 (+/-1.79%) up or down from last closing price. If Espey Manufacturing & Electronics Corp takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 3.58% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
