American Express Company Stock Forecast
American Express Company stock upgraded to Buy Candidate.
(Updated on Apr 25, 2024)
The American Express Company stock price fell by -0.84% on the last day (Thursday, 25th Apr 2024) from $239.12 to $237.10. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 1.29% from a day low at $235.41 to a day high of $238.45. The price has risen in 5 of the last 10 days and is up by 8.66% over the past 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day along with the stock, which is actually a good sign as volume should follow the stock. On the last day, the trading volume fell by -446 thousand shares and in total, 3 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $764.52 million.
The stock lies in the upper part of a strong rising trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good selling opportunity for the short-term trader as reaction back towards the lower part of the trend can be expected. A break-up at the top trend line at $239.52 will firstly indicate a stronger rate of rising. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to rise 11.51% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $244.76 and $267.09 at the end of this 3-month period.

AXP Signals & Forecast
The American Express Company 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 $230.63 and $224.40. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Wednesday, April 24, 2024, and so far it has fallen -0.84%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Volume fell together with the price during the last trading day and this reduces the overall risk as volume should follow the price movements.
Support, Risk & Stop-loss for American Express Company stock
American Express Company finds support from accumulated volume at $231.04 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.

Trading Expectations (AXP) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Friday 26th
For the upcoming trading day on Friday, 26th we expect American Express Company to open at $236.99, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $232.43 and $241.77, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$4.67 (+/-1.97%) up or down from last closing price. If American Express Company takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 3.94% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $238.96 (0.78%) than the support at $231.04 (2.56%), our systems don't find the trading risk/reward intra-day attractive and any bets should be held until the stock is closer to the support level.
