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.

Volatile ride for Express Inc stock price on Thursday moving between $1.27 and $1.50
(Updated on Mar 28, 2024)

Sell candidate since Jan 10, 2024 Loss -84.56% PDF

The Express Inc stock price fell by -10.34% on the last day (Thursday, 28th Mar 2024) from $1.45 to $1.30. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 18.11% from a day low at $1.27 to a day high of $1.50. The price has been going up and down for this period, and there has been a -5.11% loss for the last 2 weeks. Volume has increased on the last day by 20 thousand shares but on falling prices. This may be an early warning and the risk will be increased slightly over the next couple of days. In total, 31 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $40.89 thousand.

The stock lies the upper part of a very wide and falling 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 $1.30 will firstly indicate a slower falling rate, but may be the first sign of a trend shift. Due to the high volatility and the trend direction we are not able to give forecast range for this stock. Do note, that if the stock price manages to stay at current levels or higher, our prediction target will start to change positively over the next few days as the conditions for the current predictions will be broken.

EXPR Signals & Forecast

A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Wednesday, March 20, 2024, and so far it has risen 3.17%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The Express Inc 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 $1.32 and $2.13. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. Express Inc gained volume on the last day, but on falling prices. In technical terms, this is called divergence and may be an early warning. In some cases, increasing volume on falling prices may be considered positive, but that is mainly in typical "sell-offs". The very low volume increases the risk and reduces the other technical signals issued.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Express Inc stock

Express Inc finds support from accumulated volume at $1.27 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.

This stock may move very much during the day (volatility) and with a very large prediction interval from the Bollinger Band this stock is considered to be "very high risk". During the last day, the stock moved $0.230 between high and low, or 18.11%. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 13.20%.

Our recommended stop-loss: We hold a negative evaluation for this stock. No stop-loss is set.

Trading Expectations (EXPR) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 1st

For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 1st we expect Express Inc to open at $1.36, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $1.00 and $1.60, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.302 (+/-23.23%) up or down from last closing price. If Express Inc takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 46.47% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $1.33 (2.31%) than the support at $1.27 (2.31%), 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.

Is Express Inc stock A Buy?

Express Inc holds several negative signals and is within a very wide and 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.
