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)

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.

Seaboard Corp stock price ended at $3,223.92 on Thursday, after gaining 1.09%.
(Updated on Mar 28, 2024)

Sell candidate since Mar 22, 2024 Loss -0.31% PDF

The Seaboard Corp stock price gained 1.09% on the last trading day (Thursday, 28th Mar 2024), rising from $3,189.19 to $3,223.92. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 1.64% from a day low at $3,190.00 to a day high of $3,242.42. The price has fallen in 6 of the last 10 days and is down by -0.04% for this period. Volume fell on the last day by -1 thousand shares and in total, 2 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $5.64 million. You should take into consideration that falling volume on higher prices causes divergence and may be an early warning about possible changes over the next couple of days.

The stock lies the upper part of a falling trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good selling opportunity for the short-term trader as reaction back towards the lower part of the trend can be expected. A break up at the top trend line at $3,274.29 will firstly indicate a slower falling rate, but may be the first sign of a trend shift. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to fall -14.64% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $2,562.01 and $2,794.88 at the end of this 3-month period. Do note, that if the stock price manages to stay at current levels or higher, our prediction target will start to change positively over the next few days as the conditions for the current predictions will be broken.

SEB Signals & Forecast

A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Tuesday, March 05, 2024, and so far it has risen 2.09%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. 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. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The Seaboard Corp stock holds sell signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a more negative forecast for the stock. Also, there is a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average. On corrections up, there will be some resistance from the lines at $3,232.28 and $3,310.31. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Seaboard Corp stock

Seaboard Corp finds support from accumulated volume at $3,200.00 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.

Our recommended stop-loss: We hold a negative evaluation for this stock. No stop-loss is set.

Trading Expectations (SEB) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 1st

For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 1st we expect Seaboard Corp to open at $3,218.78, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $3,132.14 and $3,315.70, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$91.78 (+/-2.85%) up or down from last closing price. If Seaboard Corp takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 5.69% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $3,225.20 (0.04%) than the support at $3,200.00 (0.74%), 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 Seaboard Corp stock A Buy?

Seaboard Corp holds several negative signals and is within a falling trend, so we believe it will still perform weakly in the next couple of days or weeks. We therefore hold a negative evaluation of this stock.
