On March 31, 2017 the Exelon Corporation (NYSE:EXC) crossed above its 50 day MA for the fourth time in two weeks. Historically the 50 MA cross has occurred 348 times and the stock does not always rise. It has a median gain of 2.905 % and maximum gain of 18.413 % over the next 10 trading days.
When we take a look at other technical indicators, the relative strength index (RSI) is at 51.1549. RSI tends to determine overbought and oversold levels. I personally use anything above 75 as overbought and anything under 25 as oversold. The current reading declares the stock is neutral.
The true strength index (TSI) is currently 2.8606. The TSI determines overbought/oversold levels and/or current trend. I solely use this as an indicator of trend as overbought and oversold levels vary. The TSI is double smoothed in its calculation and is a great indicator of upward and downward movement. The current reading declares the stock is neutral and has been slowly trending down for two weeks.
Both vortex indicators (VI) are below 1 with the positive at 0.9213 and negative at 0.8946. The VI determines current trend and direction. When the positive level is higher than 1 and higher than the negative indicator, the overall price action is moving upward. When the negative level is higher than 1 and higher than the positive indicator, the overall price action is moving downward. The current reading declares the stock is neutral.
The stochastic oscillator K value is 43.8377 and D value is 43.5741. This is a cyclical oscillator that is highly accurate can be used to identify overbought/oversold levels as well as pending reversals. I personally use anything above 80 as overbought and below 20 as oversold. When the K value is higher than the D value, the stock is trending up. When the D value is higher that the K value the stock is trending down. The current reading declares the stock is neutral with future direction unknown.
Considering the moving average crossover, RSI, TSI, VI and stochastic levels, the overall near-term stock direction appears to be indiscernible. Based on historical movement compared to current levels and the current position, the stock could gain 1.18% over the next two weeks. The stock has been in a tight neutral channel throughout most of 2017. The last three time this crossover occurred in the last 15 days the stock rose at least 1%.
