Whirlpool Corporation Stock Forecast
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)
Live Samples:
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.

Whirlpool Corporation stock downgraded from Hold/Accumulate to Sell Candidate after Thursday trading session.
(Updated on Apr 18, 2024)
The Whirlpool Corporation stock price gained 0.250% on the last trading day (Thursday, 18th Apr 2024), rising from $103.85 to $104.11. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 2.04% from a day low at $103.43 to a day high of $105.53. The price has been going up and down for this period, and there has been a -9.18% loss for the last 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day by -178 thousand shares and in total, 794 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $82.62 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.
The stock is at the lower part of a wide and horizontal trend in the short term, and normally this may pose a good buying opportunity, though a breakdown through the bottom trend line at $103.05 will give a strong sell signal and a trend shift may be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect Whirlpool Corporation stock with a 90% probability to be traded between $102.91 and $119.43 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.

WHR Signals & Forecast
A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Wednesday, April 17, 2024, and so far it has risen 0.250%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Volume fell during the last trading day despite gaining prices. This causes a divergence between volume and price and it may be an early warning. The stock should be watched closely. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The Whirlpool 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 $107.20 and $110.13. 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).
Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Whirlpool Corporation stock
Whirlpool Corporation finds support from accumulated volume at $103.85 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.

For the upcoming trading day on Friday, 19th we expect Whirlpool Corporation to open at $104.36, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $101.26 and $106.96, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$2.85 (+/-2.74%) up or down from last closing price. If Whirlpool Corporation takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 5.48% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the support from accumulated volume at $103.85 (0.25%) than the resistance at $106.55 (2.34%), our systems sees the trading risk/reward intra-day as attractive and believe profit can be made before the stock reaches first resistance..
