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.

(Updated on Apr 22, 2024)

Sell candidate since Apr 19, 2024 Gain 1.55% PDF

The Valvoline Inc stock price gained 1.55% on the last trading day (Monday, 22nd Apr 2024), rising from $41.19 to $41.83. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 2.55% from a day low at $41.22 to a day high of $42.27. The price has fallen in 7 of the last 10 days and is down by -3.17% for this period. Volume has increased on the last day along with the price, which is a positive technical sign, and, in total, 317 thousand more shares were traded than the day before. In total, 1 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $48.34 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 $41.30 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 16.63% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $48.17 and $55.13 at the end of this 3-month period.

VVV Signals & Forecast

There are mixed signals in the stock today. The Valvoline Inc 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 $43.31. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the short-term average at $41.51. 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. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Thursday, March 21, 2024, and so far it has fallen -7.02%. 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 is rising along with the price. This is considered to be a good technical signal.

Trading Expectations (VVV) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Tuesday 23rd

For the upcoming trading day on Tuesday, 23rd we expect Valvoline Inc to open at $41.77, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $41.00 and $42.66, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.83 (+/-1.98%) up or down from last closing price. If Valvoline Inc takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 3.97% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $43.20 (3.28%) than the support at $40.40 (3.42%), 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.
