Explanation to Bollinger's Bands

Bollinger Bands was created by John Bollinger in the early 1980s, its purpose is to define price action relative to the assets highs and lows. This technical indicator is used to identify buy and sell signals and has proven very well in doing so.

Bollinger Bands consist of a set of three curves drawn in relation to securities prices. The middle band is a measure of the intermediate-term trend, usually a simple moving average, that serves as the base for the upper and lower bands. The interval between the upper and lower bands and the middle band is determined by volatility, typically the standard deviation of the same data that were used for the average. StockInvest.us uses Bollingers suggested 20 day average.

Middle Bollinger Band = 20-period simple moving average
Upper Bollinger Band = Middle Bollinger Band + 2 * 20-period standard deviation
Lower Bollinger Band = Middle Bollinger Band - 2 * 20-period standard deviation

BandWidth defines the current width of the band.
%b defines the current position within the band.

BandWidth = (Upper Bollinger Band - Lower Bollinger Band) / Middle Bollinger Band
%b = (Last - Lower Bollinger Band) / (Upper Bollinger Band - Lower Bollinger Band)

Bottlenecks in bandwidth indicate an upcoming change. Break up through the moving average line or continuous movements above the moving average line indicate a break up, and vice versa.

Green day on Wednesday for ITV
(Updated on Mar 27, 2024)

Buy or Hold candidate since Mar 07, 2024 Gain 20.41% PDF

The ITV stock price gained 0.136% on the last trading day (Wednesday, 27th Mar 2024), rising from £73.30 to £73.40. It has now gained 3 days in a row. It will be exciting to see whether it manages to continue gaining or take a minor break for the next few days. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 1.90% from a day low at £72.48 to a day high of £73.86. The price has risen in 6 of the last 10 days and is up by 3.15% over the past 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day by -497 thousand shares and in total, 4 million shares were bought and sold for approximately £318.10 million. You should take into consideration that falling volume on higher prices causes divergence and may be an early warning about possible changes over the next couple of days.

The stock lies in the upper part of a very wide and strong rising trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good selling opportunity for the short-term trader as reaction back towards the lower part of the trend can be expected. A break-up at the top trend line at £73.51 will firstly indicate a stronger rate of rising. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to rise 13.83% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between £66.72 and £83.68 at the end of this 3-month period.

ITV.L Signals & Forecast

Mostly positive signals in the chart today. The ITV 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 £71.86 and £63.71. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Wednesday, February 28, 2024, and so far it has risen 31.59%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. 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.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for ITV stock

ITV finds support from accumulated volume at £71.28 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 £1.38 between high and low, or 1.90%. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 2.15%.

The ITV 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: £69.92 (-4.74%) (This stock has high daily movements and this gives high risk. The RSI14 is 88 and this increases the risk substantially. There is a buy signal from a pivot bottom found 20 days ago.)

Trading Expectations (ITV.L) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Thursday 28th

For the upcoming trading day on Thursday, 28th we expect ITV to open at £73.25, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between £71.43 and £75.37, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-£1.97 (+/-2.69%) up or down from last closing price. If ITV takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 5.37% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

With no resistance above and support from accumulated volume @ £71.28, some £2.12 (2.89%) from the current price of £73.40, our system finds the risk reward attractive.
