PureTech Health Plc 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.

PureTech Health Plc stock downgraded to Sell Candidate
(Updated on Apr 17, 2024)
The PureTech Health Plc stock price fell by -0.713% on the last day (Wednesday, 17th Apr 2024) from £210.50 to £209.00. It has now fallen 5 days in a row. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 2.17% from a day low at £207.50 to a day high of £212.00. The price has fallen in 8 of the last 10 days and is down by -5% 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 -68 thousand shares and in total, 240 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately £50.13 million.
The stock lies in the lower part of a wide and strong rising trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good buying opportunity. If the lower trend floor at £203.79 is broken, it will firstly indicate a slower rate of rising, but may also be an early warning for a trend shift. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to rise 16.36% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between £237.13 and £275.85 at the end of this 3-month period.

PRTC.L Signals & Forecast
There are few to no technical positive signals at the moment. The PureTech Health Plc 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 £213.86 and £209.82. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Monday, March 25, 2024, and so far it has fallen -8.73%. 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 fell together with the price during the last trading day and this reduces the overall risk as volume should follow the price movements.

Trading Expectations (PRTC.L) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Thursday 18th
For the upcoming trading day on Thursday, 18th we expect PureTech Health Plc to open at £209.50, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between £202.26 and £215.74, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-£6.74 (+/-3.23%) up or down from last closing price. If PureTech Health Plc takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 6.45% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at £213.50 (2.15%) than the support at £201.50 (3.59%), 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.
