PAF.L Signals & Forecast
The POWERSHARES FTSE RAFI ASIA PACIFIC 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 £24.01 and £21.94. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. 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.

A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Friday, April 12, 2024, and so far it has fallen -1.22%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found.
