ASTV last opened for trading at 6.125. The stock traded as high as 6.250 and as low as 6.125, a trading range of 2%. The last trade for ASTV was 6.187 on volume of 79,200 shares traded. The stock has traded 198% of its thirty-day average volume.
ASTV is exhibiting a substantial positive divergence from its 200-day moving average line. Demand for the stock has pulled its share price upward. Insofar as the moving average line describes the price trend of a stock over a specific period of time, a move this large away from the 200-day average indicates that ASTV may be overextended, but also tells of long-term strength.
With a significant positive divergence from the 50-day moving average line, ASTV is posting strong positive gains. The stock may consolidate briefly in the short-term before the next upleg in its current trend as some investors might consider it overbought at this time. The 50-day moving average line is a reliable intermediate-term indicator. The greater the divergence from this line, the more profits there are to be had for short-term players. If the stock pulls back on decreasing volume and volatility in the near-term, this is a positive indication of strength in its current range for ASTV.
With a significant positive divergence from the 10-day moving average line, ASTV is in a short- term uptrend. If the stock is also above the 50 and 200-day moving average lines by a substantial margin, this uptrend might be considered long-term and the stock would be considered overbought in the short- term. Understanding the relationship of a stock's price with respect to these three important indicators is an essential investment concept. Furthermore, properly timing entry and exit points for any investment (over any period) requires a sophisticated understanding of a stock's proximity to its moving average lines. If ASTV shows to be firmly above its 10-day moving average line but is below either its 50 or 200-day line, the stock might be reversing a downtrend or rallying in the short-term. Additionally, volume is an important indicator to consider in conjunction with the moving average lines. The higher the volume for a stock when it moves above or below its moving average lines, the more significant any technical divergence is for investors.
As measured by a combination of the MACD indicator, one-week relative performance and moving average ratios, ASTV exhibits positive short-term momentum. The stock has been gaining ground recently, and this powerful combination of technical indicators imply that ASTV is in a short-term uptrend. Further investigation of the long-term technical rank may reveal the stock to be at the start of a new upleg. The stock could be beginning a new uptrend or continuing a long-term one.
ASTV looks to be in an uptrend, ranking in the top half of all stocks with regard to long-term technical rank. The stock scores a positive divergence from the 200 and 50-day moving average lines and has posted notable gains in the most recent twelve and twenty-six week periods. ASTV therefore exhibits long-term growth potential in its current trend. ASTV is showing improvements in growth potential given its recent gains in long-term technical rank.
With its latest open at 6.125, ASTV shows a positive opening gap of more than 5%. This price action is indicative of increased investor demand for the stock, but further research is required to uncover what news or events are driving ASTV's forward momentum.
