KKR Real Estate Finance Trust Inc Stock Forecast
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)
Live Samples:
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.

KKR Real Estate Finance Trust Inc stock upgraded to Hold/Accumulate.
(Updated on May 08, 2024)
The KKR Real Estate Finance Trust Inc stock price fell by -0.93% on the last day (Wednesday, 8th May 2024) from $9.63 to $9.54. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 1.52% from a day low at $9.51 to a day high of $9.66. The price has fallen in 6 of the last 10 days and is down by -2.45% for this period. Volume fell on the last day along with the stock, which is actually a good sign as volume should follow the stock. On the last day, the trading volume fell by -248 thousand shares and in total, 432 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $4.12 million.
The stock is at the lower part of a horizontal trend in the short term, and normally this may pose a good buying opportunity, though a breakdown through the bottom trend line at $9.42 will give a strong sell signal and a trend shift may be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect KKR Real Estate Finance Trust Inc stock with a 90% probability to be traded between $9.48 and $10.38 at the end of this 3-month period. A break of a horizontal trend is often followed by a large increase in the volume, and stocks seldom manage to go directly from the bottom of a trend up to the top. Stocks turning up in the middle of a horizontal trend are therefore considered to be potential runners.

KREF Signals & Forecast
There are mixed signals in the stock today. The KKR Real Estate Finance Trust Inc 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 $9.60 and $9.77. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals.
