GNC Holdings Inc Stock Forecast

GNC Holdings Inc stock upgraded to Buy Candidate.
(Updated on Apr 15, 2024)

GNC.L Signals & Forecast

The GNC Holdings Inc 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 £133.54 and £114.65. 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 Thursday, April 11, 2024, and so far it has fallen -0.297%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for GNC Holdings Inc stock

GNC Holdings Inc finds support from accumulated volume at £134.00 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 £5.40 between high and low, or 4.17%. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 2.62%.

The GNC Holdings Inc stock is overbought on RSI14 and lies in the upper part of the trend. Normally this may pose a good selling opportunity for the short-term trader, but some stocks may go long and hard while being overbought. Regardless, the high RSI together with the trend position increases the risk and higher daily movements (volatility) should be expected. A correction down in the nearby future seems very likely and it is of great importance that the stock manages to break the trend before that occurs.

Our recommended stop-loss: £130.44 (-2.95%) (This stock has high daily movements and this gives high risk. The RSI14 is 83 and this increases the risk substantially. There is a sell signal from a pivot top found 2 days ago.)

Trading Expectations (GNC.L) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Tuesday 16th

For the upcoming trading day on Tuesday, 16th we expect GNC Holdings Inc to open at £132.87, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between £130.64 and £138.16, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-£3.76 (+/-2.80%) up or down from last closing price. If GNC Holdings Inc takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 5.60% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at £134.80 (0.30%) than the support at £134.00 (0.30%), 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?

Several short-term signals, along with a general good trend, are positive and we conclude that the current level may hold a buying opportunity as there is a fair chance for GNC Holdings Inc stock to perform well in the short-term. We have upgraded our analysis conclusion for this stock since the last evaluation from a Hold/Accumulate to a Buy candidate.
