GD Signals & Forecast
The General Dynamics Corporation stock holds buy signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a positive forecast for the stock. Also, there is a general buy signal from the relation between the two signals where the short-term average is above the long-term average. On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at $280.97 and $274.37. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). 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. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Wednesday, March 20, 2024, and so far it has fallen -0.0212%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found.
Support, Risk & Stop-loss for General Dynamics Corporation stock
On the downside, the stock finds support just below today's level from accumulated volume at $265.86 and $265.27. There is a natural risk involved when a stock is testing a support level, since if this is broken, the stock then may fall to the next support level. In this case, General Dynamics Corporation finds support just below today's level at $265.86. If this is broken, then the next support from accumulated volume will be at $265.27 and $261.18.
In general the stock tends to have very controlled movements and with good liquidity the risk is considered very low in this stock. During the last day, the stock moved $1.87 between high and low, or 0.664%. For the last week the stock has had daily average volatility of 0.86%.
Our recommended stop-loss: $274.11 (-2.97%) (This stock has low daily movements and this gives low risk. The RSI14 is 77 and this increases the risk substantially. There is a sell signal from a pivot top found 6 days ago.)
Trading Expectations (GD) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 1st
For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 1st we expect General Dynamics Corporation to open at $282.31, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $279.54 and $285.44, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$2.95 (+/-1.04%) up or down from last closing price. If General Dynamics Corporation takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 2.09% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $282.55 (0.02%) than the support at $265.86 (5.89%), 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.
