(Updated on Apr 18, 2024)

GD Signals & Forecast

A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Friday, April 05, 2024, and so far it has fallen -3.36%. 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). Some positive signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The General Dynamics Corporation stock holds a sell signal from the short-term Moving Average; at the same time, however, there is a buy signal from the long-term average. Since the short-term average is above the long-term average there is a general buy signal in the stock giving a positive forecast for the stock. On further gains, the stock will meet resistance from the short-term Moving Average at approximately $286.46. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the long-term average at approximately $281.71. A break-up through the short-term average will send a buy signal, whereas a breakdown through the long-term average will send a sell signal. 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.

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 $2.89 between high and low, or 1.02%. For the last week the stock has had daily average volatility of 1.39%.

Our recommended stop-loss: $273.46 (-4.14%) (This stock has low daily movements and this gives low risk. There is a sell signal from a pivot top found 9 days ago.)

Trading Expectations (GD) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Friday 19th

For the upcoming trading day on Friday, 19th we expect General Dynamics Corporation to open at $285.40, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $281.44 and $289.10, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$3.83 (+/-1.34%) up or down from last closing price. If General Dynamics Corporation takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 2.68% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $285.30 (0.01%) than the support at $265.86 (6.80%), 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 General Dynamics Corporation stock A Buy?

Several of the signals/indicators are negative, and we believe that this will affect on the development for the next days and maybe possible weeks. However, over time, we think that today's level holds a possible buying opportunity and that the price will be higher during or at the end of this 3-month period.

Current score: 2.246 Buy Candidate Unchanged
