How is a forecast made?

We collect public data about IBM and analyst forecasts for IBM stock. Next, the algorithms calculate a weighted average forecast, removing extreme values. As a result, at the output we get an updated forecast, as close as possible to reality.

IBM daily forecast for a month

After collecting analysts' forecasts, we made one average daily forecast for IBM shares for the next month. Short-term forecasts are characterized by rather low accuracy due to many factors influencing them. But let's see what we got.

Below on the page is a graph of the consensus forecast for IBM stock for the next month. (30 days). The gray color on the chart shows the historical price of the stock. The turquoise color shows the price forecast with a possible range of fluctuations.

The maximum target price that IBM shares will reach in the next 30 days is $239.24. This is the upper limit of the target price range. This represents upside potential of 2.7% from current levels.

In turn, the minimum value that the price can reach in 30 days is $186.6. From the current price, the drop will be 24.84%.

Thus, on the monthly timeframe, a channel is formed with a resistance level of $239.24 and a support level of $186.6. The width of this channel is $52.64. Accordingly, according to the theory of technical analysis, a downward breakdown of the channel will open the way to $134. If the resistance level is broken, then the road to $292 per share of IBM will open.

What is the probability of exiting the channel up? Near the resistance level, the price of IBM shares will be 6 days out of the entire period. Therefore, it is highly likely that IBM shares will break through the resistance level in the next 30 days or in the next period. It is worth considering that if stocks break through the $239.24 resistance level and try to gain a foothold above it, then in the future they will most likely test this level from above and if the $239.24 mark holds, then this will be a new channel with new goals.

How about testing the strength of the support level? The price will stay near the support level for 2 days. The chance to break the $186.6 level is very small.

In addition, the real future price of one IBM share can be both higher and lower than the target forecast price, but approximately in the range between the pessimistic and optimistic target price.

The minimum levels for IBM shares for this year are $199.69.
