To The Moon

The Target $Target(TGT)$ stock price gained 2.96% on Wednesday, 16th Aug 2023, rising from $125.05 to $128.75. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 6.05% from a day low at $127.53 to a day high of $135.25. The price has fallen in 7 of the last 10 days and is down by -3.59% for this period. Volume has increased on the last day along with the price, which is a positive technical sign, and, in total, 14 million more shares were traded than the day before. In total, 24 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $3.05 billion.

The stock lies in the lower of a wide and falling trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good buying opportunity. If the lower trend floor at $124.87 is broken, it will firstly indicate a stronger fall rate. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to fall -7.06% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $116.05 and $139.04 at the end of this 3-month period.

TGT Signals & Forecast

A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Tuesday, August 15, 2023, and so far it has risen 2.96%. 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 Target 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 $129.54 and $132.27. 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).

Trading Expectations (TGT) For The Trading Day Of Thursday 17th

For the trading day on Thursday, 17th we expect Target Corporation to open at $130.51, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $125.57 and $131.93, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$3.18 (+/-2.47%) up or down from last closing price. If Target Corporation takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 4.93% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the support from accumulated volume at $126.99 (1.37%) than the resistance at $130.93 (1.69%), our systems sees the trading risk/reward intra-day as attractive and believe profit can be made before the stock reaches first resistance..
