Acacia Research Corporation Stock Forecast

Red day on Monday for Acacia Research Corporation
(Updated on Apr 15, 2024)

ACTG Signals & Forecast

A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Thursday, April 04, 2024, and so far it has fallen -7.82%. 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). Acacia Research Corporation gained volume on the last day, but on falling prices. In technical terms, this is called divergence and may be an early warning. In some cases, increasing volume on falling prices may be considered positive, but that is mainly in typical "sell-offs". Some positive signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The Acacia Research Corporation 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 $5.10. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the long-term average at approximately $4.69. 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.
