Mastercard Incorporated Stock Forecast

Stronger technical forecast for Mastercard Incorporated stock price after Thursday trading.
(Updated on Apr 25, 2024)

MA Signals & Forecast

A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Thursday, April 18, 2024, and so far it has risen 1.63%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The Mastercard Incorporated stock holds a buy signal from the short-term Moving Average; at the same time, however, the long-term average holds a general sell signal. Since the longterm average is above the short-term average there is a general sell signal in the stock giving a more negative forecast for the stock. On further gains, the stock will meet resistance from the long-term Moving Average at $471.81. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the short-term average at $459.20. A break-up through the long-term average will give another buy signal, while a fall below the short-term average will add another sell signal and strengthen the general signal. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Volume fell together with the price during the last trading day and this reduces the overall risk as volume should follow the price movements.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Mastercard Incorporated stock

Mastercard Incorporated finds support from accumulated volume at $459.05 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.

This stock is usually traded at a good volume, and with minor daily changes, the risk is considered to be low. During the last day, the stock moved $7.28 (1.59%) between high and low. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 1.47%.

Our recommended stop-loss: $434.70 (-5.93%) (This stock has low daily movements and this gives low risk. There is a buy signal from a pivot bottom found 5 days ago.)

Trading Expectations (MA) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Friday 26th

For the upcoming trading day on Friday, 26th we expect Mastercard Incorporated to open at $460.94, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $455.14 and $469.08, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$6.97 (+/-1.51%) up or down from last closing price. If Mastercard Incorporated takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 3.02% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $462.50 (0.08%) than the support at $459.05 (0.66%), 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 Mastercard Incorporated stock A Buy?
