The Waters Corporation stock price gained 0.96% on the last trading day (Friday, 26th Apr 2024), rising from $308.35 to $311.30. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 1.93% from a day low at $305.60 to a day high of $311.50. The price has fallen in 6 of the last 10 days and is down by -3.52% for this period. Volume fell on the last day by -153 thousand shares and in total, 197 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $61.39 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.

Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect Waters Corporation stock with a 90% probability to be traded between $288.49 and $351.18 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.
