Enterprise Financial Services Corp Stock Forecast
Enterprise Financial Services Corp stock upgraded to Buy Candidate.
(Updated on Apr 19, 2024)
The Enterprise Financial Services Corp stock price gained 3.93% on the last trading day (Friday, 19th Apr 2024), rising from $38.18 to $39.68. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 4.58% from a day low at $37.99 to a day high of $39.73. The price has risen in 7 of the last 10 days and is up by 1.56% over the past 2 weeks. Volume has increased on the last day along with the price, which is a positive technical sign, and, in total, 44 thousand more shares were traded than the day before. In total, 160 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $6.36 million.
The stock lies the upper part of a wide and falling trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good selling opportunity for the short-term trader as reaction back towards the lower part of the trend can be expected. A break up at the top trend line at $40.46 will firstly indicate a slower falling rate, but may be the first sign of a trend shift. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to fall -8.30% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $33.10 and $37.10 at the end of this 3-month period. Do note, that if the stock price manages to stay at current levels or higher, our prediction target will start to change positively over the next few days as the conditions for the current predictions will be broken.

EFSC Signals & Forecast
The Enterprise Financial Services Corp stock holds buy signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a positive forecast for the stock, but the stock has a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average. On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at $38.38 and $39.04. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Thursday, March 14, 2024, and so far it has risen 5.62%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Volume is rising along with the price. This is considered to be a good technical signal. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD).

For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 22nd we expect Enterprise Financial Services Corporation to open at $39.13, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $38.66 and $40.70, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$1.02 (+/-2.56%) up or down from last closing price.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $39.87 (0.48%) than the support at $39.25 (1.08%), 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.
