Itron Stock Forecast
Itron stock upgraded to Hold/Accumulate.
(Updated on Apr 19, 2024)
The Itron stock price fell by -0.90% on the last day (Friday, 19th Apr 2024) from $90.49 to $89.68. It has now fallen 3 days in a row. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 1.93% from a day low at $88.92 to a day high of $90.64. The price has fallen in 7 of the last 10 days and is down by -1.99% for this period. Volume has increased on the last day by 43 thousand shares but on falling prices. This may be an early warning and the risk will be increased slightly over the next couple of days. In total, 316 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $28.33 million.
The stock lies in the lower part of a wide and strong rising trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good buying opportunity. If the lower trend floor at $88.83 is broken, it will firstly indicate a slower rate of rising, but may also be an early warning for a trend shift. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to rise 26.18% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $112.09 and $134.44 at the end of this 3-month period.

ITRI Signals & Forecast
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. The Itron 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 $90.72 and $90.83. 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 07, 2024, and so far it has fallen -6.44%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Volume rose on falling prices yesterday. This may be an early warning and the stock should be followed more closely.

Trading Expectations (ITRI) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 22nd
For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 22nd we expect Itron to open at $89.75, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $87.45 and $91.91, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$2.23 (+/-2.49%) up or down from last closing price. If Itron takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 4.97% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the support from accumulated volume at $89.18 (0.56%) than the resistance at $91.03 (1.51%), our systems sees the trading risk/reward intra-day as attractive and believe profit can be made before the stock reaches first resistance..
