Pool Corporation Stock Forecast
Evaluation of Pool Corporation stock downgraded after the last trading session.
(Updated on Apr 25, 2024)
The Pool Corporation stock price fell by -1.96% on the last day (Thursday, 25th Apr 2024) from $377.39 to $370.00. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 6.00% from a day low at $358.43 to a day high of $379.93. The price has fallen in 6 of the last 10 days and is down by -2.41% for this period. Volume has increased on the last day by 507 thousand 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, 1 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $389.08 million.
The stock is at the lower part of a wide and horizontal trend in the short term, and normally this may pose a good buying opportunity, though a breakdown through the bottom trend line at $361.14 will give a strong sell signal and a trend shift may be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect Pool Corporation stock with a 90% probability to be traded between $361.23 and $419.11 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.

There are mixed signals in the stock today. The Pool Corporation 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 $392.77. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the short-term average at $368.06. 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.

This may be an early warning and the stock should be followed more closely. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Friday, April 19, 2024, and so far it has risen 2.46%.
