(Updated on Apr 19, 2024)

JCE Signals & Forecast

There are few to no technical positive signals at the moment. The Nuveen Core Equity Alpha Fund 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 $13.50 and $13.80. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Wednesday, March 13, 2024, and so far it has fallen -6.59%. 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). Nuveen Core Equity Alpha Fund gained volume on the last day, but on falling prices. In technical terms, this is called divergence and may be an early warning. In some cases, increasing volume on falling prices may be considered positive, but that is mainly in typical "sell-offs".
