The Bollinger Bands Narrowing indicator suggests that the volatility in the stock's price is decreasing, which could indicate a period of consolidation before a potential move in either direction. The KDJ Death Cross, on the other hand, is a technical signal that suggests a change in the trend of the stock. When the KDJ line crosses below the Stochastic %K line, it is considered a bearish signal, indicating a potential downward trend.
In addition to these technical indicators, WEC Energy Group has recently reported strong earnings, with earnings per share (EPS) of $0.76, surpassing analysts' expectations. The company also reported a revenue increase of 13.4% year-over-year, totaling $2.01 billion.
