HomeTrust Bancshares Stock Forecast
Stronger technical forecast for HomeTrust Bancshares stock price after Thursday trading.
(Updated on Apr 25, 2024)
The HomeTrust Bancshares stock price fell by -0.496% on the last day (Thursday, 25th Apr 2024) from $26.22 to $26.09. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 2.75% from a day low at $25.49 to a day high of $26.20. The price has been going up and down for this period, and there has been a 6.62% gain for the last 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day along with the stock, which is actually a good sign as volume should follow the stock. On the last day, the trading volume fell by -11 thousand shares and in total, 29 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $747.32 thousand.
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 $26.68 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 $21.64 and $24.46 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.

HTBI Signals & Forecast
The HomeTrust Bancshares 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 $24.92 and $25.31. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Wednesday, April 17, 2024, and so far it has risen 9.48%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. 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). Volume fell along with the price during the last trading day, which is technical positive. One should, however, note that this stock may have low liquidity in periods, which increases the general risk.
Support, Risk & Stop-loss for HomeTrust Bancshares stock
HomeTrust Bancshares finds support from accumulated volume at $25.98 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.
This stock has average movements during the day, but be aware of low or falling volume as this increases the risk. During the last day, the stock moved $0.702 between high and low, or 2.75%. For the last week the stock has had daily average volatility of 2.81%.
Our recommended stop-loss: $25.08 (-3.88%) (This stock has medium daily movements and this gives medium risk. There is a buy signal from a pivot bottom found 6 days ago.)
Trading Expectations (HTBI) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Friday 26th
For the upcoming trading day on Friday, 26th we expect HomeTrust Bancshares to open at $25.93, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $25.40 and $26.78, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.691 (+/-2.65%) up or down from last closing price. If HomeTrust Bancshares takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 5.30% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $26.18 (0.34%) than the support at $25.98 (0.42%), 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.
