MIKASA 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.

Evaluation of MIKASA INC stock downgraded after the last trading session.
(Updated on Apr 16, 2024)
The MIKASA INC stock price fell by -2.83% on the last day (Tuesday, 16th Apr 2024) from £254.20 to £247.00. It has now fallen 3 days in a row. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 2.77% from a day low at £245.50 to a day high of £252.30. The price has fallen in 7 of the last 10 days and is down by -6.83% for this period. Volume has increased on the last day by 1 million 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, 5 million shares were bought and sold for approximately £1.23 billion.
The stock lies in the middle of a wide and weak rising trend in the short term and a further rise within the trend is signaled. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to rise 4.31% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between £245.54 and £279.89 at the end of this 3-month period.
MKS.L Signals & Forecast
There are few to no technical positive signals at the moment. The MIKASA INC stock holds sell signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a more negative forecast for the stock. On corrections up, there will be some resistance from the lines at £254.61 and £249.63. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Wednesday, April 03, 2024, and so far it has fallen -7.39%. 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). Volume rose on falling prices yesterday. This may be an early warning and the stock should be followed more closely.
Support, Risk & Stop-loss for MIKASA INC stock
MIKASA INC finds support from accumulated volume at £245.90 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.
This stock has average movements during the day and with good trading volume, the risk is considered to be medium. During the last day, the stock moved £6.80 between high and low, or 2.77%. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 2.73%.
Our recommended stop-loss: £235.13 (-4.81%) (This stock has medium daily movements and this gives medium risk. There is a sell signal from a pivot top found 9 days ago.)
Trading Expectations (MKS.L) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Wednesday 17th
For the upcoming trading day on Wednesday, 17th we expect MIKASA INC to open at £248.27, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between £240.81 and £253.19, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-£6.19 (+/-2.51%) up or down from last closing price. If MIKASA INC takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 5.01% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at £247.10 (0.04%) than the support at £245.90 (0.45%), 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 MIKASA INC stock A Buy?
MIKASA INC holds several negative signals and this should be a sell candidate, but due to the general chance for a turnaround situation it should be considered as a hold candidate (hold or accumulate) in this position whilst awaiting further development. Due to some small weaknesses in the technical picture we have downgraded our analysis conclusion for this stock since the last evaluation from a Buy to a Hold/Accumulate candidate.
Current score: -0.900 Hold/Accumulate Downgraded
