FormFactor Stock Forecast
Stronger technical forecast for FormFactor stock price after Thursday trading.
(Updated on Apr 18, 2024)
The FormFactor stock price fell by -2.05% on the last day (Thursday, 18th Apr 2024) from $42.97 to $42.09. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 2.93% from a day low at $41.99 to a day high of $43.22. The price has been going up and down for this period, and there has been a -7.35% loss for the last 2 weeks. 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 -30 thousand shares and in total, 282 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $11.87 million.
The stock lies in the lower part of a wide and strong rising trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good buying opportunity. If the lower trend floor at $42.05 is broken, it will firstly indicate a slower rate of rising, but may also be an early warning for a trend shift. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to rise 11.42% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $46.85 and $54.02 at the end of this 3-month period.

FORM Signals & Forecast
There are few to no technical positive signals at the moment. The FormFactor 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 $44.18 and $44.36. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Tuesday, April 09, 2024, and so far it has fallen -12.00%. 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 FormFactor stock
FormFactor finds support from accumulated volume at $41.99 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.

Trading Expectations (FORM) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Friday 19th
For the upcoming trading day on Friday, 19th we expect FormFactor to open at $42.43, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $40.56 and $43.62, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$1.53 (+/-3.63%) up or down from last closing price. If FormFactor takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 7.26% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the support from accumulated volume at $41.99 (0.24%) than the resistance at $42.31 (0.52%), our systems sees the trading risk/reward intra-day as attractive and believe profit can be made before the stock reaches first resistance..
