(Updated on Apr 18, 2024)

SYK Signals & Forecast

There are few to no technical positive signals at the moment. The Stryker Corporation 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 $339.42 and $350.80. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Wednesday, March 27, 2024, and so far it has fallen -8.71%. 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.

Trading Expectations (SYK) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Friday 19th

For the upcoming trading day on Friday, 19th we expect Stryker Corporation to open at $330.36, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $321.55 and $333.35, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$5.90 (+/-1.80%) up or down from last closing price. If Stryker Corporation takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 3.60% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $335.48 (2.45%) than the support at $316.64 (3.30%), 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 Stryker Corporation stock A Buy?

The Stryker Corporation stock holds several negative signals and despite the positive trend, we believe Stryker Corporation will perform weakly in the next couple of days or weeks. Therefore, we hold a negative evaluation of this stock. Due to some small weaknesses in the technical picture we have downgraded our analysis conclusion for this stock since the last evaluation from a Hold/Accumulate to a Sell candidate.
