WEC Signals & Forecast
The WEC Energy Group Inc stock holds buy signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a positive forecast for the stock, but the stock has a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average. On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at $79.53 and $80.50. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Tuesday, April 16, 2024, and so far it has risen 4.83%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Volume is rising along with the price. This is considered to be a good technical signal. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD).
A sell signal from a double top formation was found on Thursday, March 28, 2024 and based on theory for this formation the price should fall by -1.96% to $79.96 within 13 trading days since signal was issued (Monday, April 22, 2024).

Trading Expectations (WEC) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 22nd
For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 22nd we expect WEC Energy Group Inc to open at $81.36, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $80.09 and $83.03, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$1.47 (+/-1.80%) up or down from last closing price.
