Holcim Ltd Stock Forecast

Green day on Friday for Holcim Ltd stock after gaining 0.0442%
(Updated on Apr 19, 2024)

HCMLY Signals & Forecast

There are few to no technical positive signals at the moment. The Holcim Ltd stock holds sell signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a more negative forecast for the stock. 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 $17.12 and $17.42. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Thursday, March 28, 2024, and so far it has fallen -6.50%. 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). Volume fell during the last trading day while the price increased. This causes a divergence and may be considered as an early warning, but it may also not.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Holcim Ltd stock

On the downside, the stock finds support just below today's level from accumulated volume at $15.72 and $15.17. 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, Holcim Ltd finds support just below today's level at $15.72. If this is broken, then the next support from accumulated volume will be at $15.17 and $15.08.

In general the stock tends to have controlled movements and therefore the general risk is considered low. However, be aware of low or falling volume and make sure to keep an eye on the stock. During the last day, the stock moved $0.140 between high and low, or 0.83%. For the last week the stock has had daily average volatility of 1.05%.

Our recommended stop-loss: We hold a negative evaluation for this stock. No stop-loss is set.

Trading Expectations (HCMLY) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 22nd

For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 22nd we expect Holcim Ltd to open at $16.99, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $16.74 and $17.22, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.243 (+/-1.43%) up or down from last closing price. If Holcim Ltd takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 2.86% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $17.48 (2.94%) than the support at $15.72 (7.42%), 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 Holcim Ltd stock A Buy?

The Holcim Ltd stock holds several negative signals and despite the positive trend, we believe Holcim Ltd will perform weakly in the next couple of days or weeks. Therefore, we hold a negative evaluation of this stock.
