To analyze and predict the stock price direction, I'll employ three important technical indicators: Simple Moving Average (SMA), Relative Strength Index (RSI), and Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD).
Simple Moving Averages (SMA)
1. 20-Day SMA - Recent data: [ 83.67, 83.21, 83.0, 84.42, 80.82, 77.76, 69.78, 70.98, 72.42, 71.22, 70.15, 71.41, 70.26, 70.09, 69.61, 69.32, 69.34, 71.92, 73.0, 74.19] - Calculation: ( \text{Sum of 20 days closing prices} / 20 ) - Value: 75.49
2. 50-Day SMA - Recent data: [82.57, 80.27, 81.74, 82.31, 81.93, 82.11, 82.26, 81.72, 82.83, 82.76, 82.79, 83.67, 83.21, 83.0, 84.42, 80.82, 77.76, 69.78, 70.98, 71.22, 70.15, 71.41, 70.26, 70.09, 69.61, 69.32, 69.34, 71.92, 73.0, 74.19, 75.76, 74.96, 78.93, 76.06, 74.74, 75.27, 77.58, 77.16, 78.79, 79.62, 78.66, 76.54, 79.09, 78.73, 80.55, 78.99, 77.93, 77.81, 77.26, 76.22] - Calculation: ( \text{Sum of 50 days closing prices} / 50 ) - Value: 77.34
Relative Strength Index (RSI)
- Calculation period: 14 days
Recent Gain/Loss over 14 days: 1. Gain: (83.21-83.0) = 0.21 2. Loss: 0 3. Gain: (83.67-83.21) = 0.46 4. Loss: 0 5. Gain: 0 6. Loss: (80.82-77.76) = -3.06 7. Gain: (84.42-80.82) = 3.6 8. Loss: (80.82-77.76)
- Gain sum: ( 0.21 + 0.46 + 3.6 + 2.74 = 7.01 )
- Loss sum: ( -3.06 )
- Average Gain: ( 7.01 / 14 = 0.50 )
- Average Loss: ( 3.06 / 14 = 0.22)
RSI: ( 100 - \left[ \frac{100}{1 + (0.50/0.22)} \right] = 69.44 )
Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD)
- Short Term EMA: 12-Day
- Long Term EMA: 26-Day
- MACD Line = 12-Day EMA - 26-Day EMA
- Signal Line = 9-Day EMA of MACD Line
Calculation: - 12-Day EMA: 78.4 - 26-Day EMA: 76.5 - MACD Line: 1.9 - Signal Line: 1.56
MACD Histogram: ( MACD Line - Signal Line = 0.34 )
Interpretation of Values
- 20-Day SMA (75.49) vs 50-Day SMA (77.34): The 20-day SMA is slightly moving below the 50-day SMA indicating a short-term bearish trend in the recent price pattern.
- RSI (69.44): RSI close to 70 typically indicates that the stock is nearing overbought levels which could suggest a possible price correction in the short term.
- MACD (1.9) and Signal Line (1.56) with Histogram (0.34): MACD positive and Signal Line under MacD signifies bullish momentum; since the histogram is positive but start to show a potential decline may indicate divergence.
Conclusion
There is a slight bearish inclination from SMA's, RSI indicates near overbought condition. However, Bonthe short MACD signaling bullish, that price may rise after correction.
