WMB Signals & Forecast
The Williams Companies stock holds buy signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a positive forecast for the stock. Also, there is a general buy signal from the relation between the two signals where the short-term average is above the long-term average. On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at $38.56 and $38.13. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals.

Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD).
