HSIC Signals & Forecast
The Henry Schein 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 $70.80 and $71.99. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Friday, May 03, 2024, and so far it has risen 8.16%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. Volume fell together with the price during the last trading day and this reduces the overall risk as volume should follow the price movements.
