KLAC Signals & Forecast
A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Friday, April 19, 2024, and so far it has risen 7.13%. 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. The KLA Corporation stock holds a buy signal from the short-term Moving Average; at the same time, however, the long-term average holds a general sell signal. Since the longterm average is above the short-term average there is a general sell signal in the stock giving a more negative forecast for the stock. On further gains, the stock will meet resistance from the long-term Moving Average at $684.99. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the short-term average at $648.96. A break-up through the long-term average will give another buy signal, while a fall below the short-term average will add another sell signal and strengthen the general signal. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD).
Support, Risk & Stop-loss for KLA Corporation stock

Trading Expectations (KLAC) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Friday 26th
For the upcoming trading day on Friday, 26th we expect KLA Corporation to open at $666.89, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $652.46 and $693.44, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$20.49 (+/-3.04%) up or down from last closing price. If KLA Corporation takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 6.09% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $683.90 (1.63%) than the support at $651.77 (3.15%), 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.
