Espey Manufacturing & Electronics Corp 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.

Weaker technical forecast for Espey Manufacturing & Electronics Corp as stock downgraded to Hold/Accumulate.
(Updated on Apr 23, 2024)
The Espey Manufacturing & Electronics Corp stock price gained 0.330% on the last trading day (Tuesday, 23rd Apr 2024), rising from £90.80 to £91.10. It has now gained 4 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 1.33% from a day low at £90.30 to a day high of £91.50. The price has risen in 5 of the last 10 days but is still down by -0.11% for this period. Volume fell on the last day by -67 thousand shares and in total, 588 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately £53.57 million. You should take into consideration that falling volume on higher prices causes divergence and may be an early warning about possible changes over the next couple of days.
The stock is moving within a horizontal trend and further movements within this trend can be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect Espey Manufacturing & Electronics Corp stock with a 90% probability to be traded between £88.37 and £96.97 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.

ESP.L Signals & Forecast
There are mixed signals in the stock today. The Espey Manufacturing & Electronics Corp stock holds a buy signal from the short-term Moving Average; at the same time, however, the long-term average holds a general sell signal. Since the longterm average is above the short-term average there is a general sell signal in the stock giving a more negative forecast for the stock. On further gains, the stock will meet resistance from the long-term Moving Average at £92.62. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the short-term average at £89.99. A break-up through the long-term average will give another buy signal, while a fall below the short-term average will add another sell signal and strengthen the general signal. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Wednesday, April 17, 2024, and so far it has risen 3.41%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Volume fell during the last trading day despite gaining prices. This causes a divergence between volume and price and it may be an early warning. The stock should be watched closely.
A buy signal from a double bottom formation was found on Wednesday, April 17, 2024 and based on theory for this formation the price should go up by 10.39% to £100.56 within 44 trading days since signal was issued (Wednesday, April 24, 2024).

For the upcoming trading day on Wednesday, 24th we expect Espey Manufacturing & Electronics Corp to open at £90.97, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between £89.45 and £92.75, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-£1.65 (+/-1.81%) up or down from last closing price.
