Stronger technical forecast for Caseys General Stores stock price after Thursday trading.
(Updated on Apr 18, 2024)

CASY Signals & Forecast

A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Monday, March 25, 2024, and so far it has fallen -3.12%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Some positive signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The Caseys General Stores stock holds a sell signal from the short-term Moving Average; at the same time, however, there is a buy signal from the long-term average. Since the short-term average is above the long-term average there is a general buy signal in the stock giving a positive forecast for the stock. On further gains, the stock will meet resistance from the short-term Moving Average at approximately $310.87. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the long-term average at approximately $309.37. A break-up through the short-term average will send a buy signal, whereas a breakdown through the long-term average will send a sell signal. Volume fell during the last trading day despite gaining prices. This causes a divergence between volume and price and it may be an early warning. The stock should be watched closely.

Trading Expectations (CASY) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Friday 19th

For the upcoming trading day on Friday, 19th we expect Caseys General Stores to open at $310.13, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $303.22 and $315.58, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$6.18 (+/-2.00%) up or down from last closing price. If Caseys General Stores takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 3.99% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $312.19 (0.90%) than the support at $305.43 (1.28%), our systems don't find the trading risk/reward intra-day attractive and any bets should be held until the stock is closer to the support level.

Is Caseys General Stores stock A Buy?

Several of the signals/indicators are negative, and we believe that this will affect on the development for the next days and maybe possible weeks.

We have upgraded our analysis conclusion for this stock since the last evaluation from a Sell to a Buy candidate.
