How to read an AlphaForecast forecast
Updated May 22, 2026
Start with the headline: bias and confidence
The top of every forecast shows the bias (bullish, bearish, or neutral) and a confidence percentage. Read these first — they tell you the direction the analysis leans and how strongly the signals agree. If you're unsure what they mean, the bias-and-confidence explainer covers it in detail.
The price chart and analysis
Below the headline is a recent price line and a written analysis. The chart gives you context — is price trending, ranging, or near an extreme? The commentary explains the reasoning behind the bias in plain language, so you understand why the forecast leans the way it does rather than just what it concludes.
Levels, risks, and events
A forecast also surfaces the actionable price levels (entry, target, stop), a list of key risks that could break the thesis, and any upcoming catalysts. The risks matter as much as the levels: they tell you what would prove the idea wrong. Scheduled catalysts — earnings, economic releases — can move price sharply, and you can see what's coming on the events calendar.
Turning a forecast into a decision
Reading a forecast well means combining the pieces, not cherry-picking one. A bullish bias with high confidence, a clean entry near support, and no major event due is a very different setup from the same bias with earnings tomorrow. Browse the forecasts list to compare names, then build your own plan with levels you're comfortable acting on.
