WEF.TO Signals & Forecast
A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Monday, April 22, 2024, and so far it has fallen 0%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The Western Forest Products Inc. 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 $0.556 and $0.590. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Volume fell along with the price during the last trading day which is technical positive. One should, however, note that this stock may have low liquidity in periods, which increases the general risk. The very low volume increases the risk and reduces the other technical signals issued.
Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Western Forest Products Inc. stock
There is no support from accumulated volume below today's level and given the right condition the stock may perform very badly in the next couple of days.
This stock has average movements during the day, but be aware of low or falling volume as this increases the risk. During the last day, the stock moved $0.0200 between high and low, or 3.70%. For the last week the stock has had daily average volatility of 4.82%.
Our recommended stop-loss: We hold a negative evaluation for this stock. No stop-loss is set.
Trading Expectations (WEF.TO) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Friday 26th
For the upcoming trading day on Friday, 26th we expect Western Forest Products Inc. to open at $0.550, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $0.525 and $0.575, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.0255 (+/-4.63%) up or down from last closing price.
