FirstService Corporation Stock Forecast
Red day on Thursday for FirstService Corporation
(Updated on Apr 18, 2024)
The FirstService Corporation stock price fell by -0.466% on the last day (Thursday, 18th Apr 2024) from $150.10 to $149.40. It has now fallen 7 days in a row. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 1.58% from a day low at $148.10 to a day high of $150.44. The price has fallen in 8 of the last 10 days and is down by -4.93% 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.

The stock has broken the falling short-term trend down. Firstly a stronger fallrate is indicated, but false breaks and "sell-off" may occur. However, a further fall is realistic and any reactions back to the breaking point ($157.19) are considered to be a "second chance" to get out. According to the fan-theory $147.40 will represent the new bottom line of the next trend, but it is far too early to say this for certain.

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 $152.36 and $162.41. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals.
