Espey Manufacturing & Electronics Corp Stock Forecast
Red day on Friday for Espey Manufacturing & Electronics Corp
(Updated on Apr 26, 2024)
The Espey Manufacturing & Electronics Corp stock price fell by -0.398% on the last day (Friday, 26th Apr 2024) from $22.64 to $22.55. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 2.36% from a day low at $22.25 to a day high of $22.78. The price has fallen in 6 of the last 10 days and is down by -1.53% for this period. 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 -464 shares and in total, 2 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $50.47 thousand.
The stock is at the lower part of a wide and horizontal trend in the short term, and normally this may pose a good buying opportunity, though a breakdown through the bottom trend line at $21.77 will give a strong sell signal and a trend shift may be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect Espey Manufacturing & Electronics Corp stock with a 90% probability to be traded between $21.39 and $26.05 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 Signals & Forecast
A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Friday, April 19, 2024, and so far it has risen 3.39%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. 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 $24.21. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the short-term average at $22.30. 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). Volume fell along with the price during the last trading day which is technical positive. One should, however, note that this stock may have low liquidity in periods, which increases the general risk. The very low volume increases the risk and reduces the other technical signals issued.

Espey Manufacturing & Electronics Corp finds support from accumulated volume at $22.47 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.

Our recommended stop-loss: $21.32 (-5.44%) (This stock has medium daily movements and this gives medium risk. There is a buy signal from a pivot bottom found 5 days ago.)
