GNC Holdings Inc Stock Forecast

Red day on Wednesday for GNC Holdings Inc stock after losing 0.768%
(Updated on Apr 17, 2024)

GNC.L Signals & Forecast

The GNC Holdings Inc 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 £132.51. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the long-term average at approximately £116.23. 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. 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. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Thursday, April 11, 2024, and so far it has fallen -4.15%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. 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 GNC Holdings Inc stock

GNC Holdings Inc finds support from accumulated volume at £127.20 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 much during the day (volatility) and with a large prediction interval from the Bollinger Band this stock is considered to be "high risk". During the last day, the stock moved £2.67 between high and low, or 2.08%. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 3.25%.

Our recommended stop-loss: £122.78 (-4.97%) (This stock has high daily movements and this gives high risk. There is a sell signal from a pivot top found 4 days ago.)

Trading Expectations (GNC.L) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Thursday 18th

For the upcoming trading day on Thursday, 18th we expect GNC Holdings Inc to open at £129.29, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between £125.31 and £133.09, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-£3.89 (+/-3.01%) up or down from last closing price. If GNC Holdings Inc takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 6.02% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at £130.20 (0.77%) than the support at £127.20 (1.55%), 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 GNC Holdings Inc stock A Buy?

GNC Holdings Inc holds several positive signals, but we still don't find these to be enough for a buy candidate. At the current level, it should be considered as a hold candidate (hold or accumulate) in this position whilst awaiting further development.

Current score: 0.835 Hold/Accumulate Unchanged
