Zions Bancorporation Stock Forecast
Zions Bancorporation stock downgraded from Hold/Accumulate to Sell Candidate after Tuesday trading session.
(Updated on Apr 23, 2024)
The Zions Bancorporation stock price gained 1.04% on the last trading day (Tuesday, 23rd Apr 2024), rising from $41.32 to $41.75. It has now gained 3 days in a row. It will be exciting to see whether it manages to continue gaining or take a minor break for the next few days. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 2.42% from a day low at $41.12 to a day high of $42.12. The price has fallen in 6 of the last 10 days and is down by -4.05% for this period. Volume fell on the last day by -2 million shares and in total, 2 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $80.85 million. You should take into consideration that falling volume on higher prices causes divergence and may be an early warning about possible changes over the next couple of days.
The stock is moving within a wide and horizontal trend and further movements within this trend can be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect Zions Bancorporation stock with a 90% probability to be traded between $38.18 and $43.59 at the end of this 3-month period. A break of a horizontal trend is often followed by a large increase in the volume, and stocks seldom manage to go directly from the bottom of a trend up to the top. Stocks turning up in the middle of a horizontal trend are therefore considered to be potential runners.

ZION Signals & Forecast
The Zions Bancorporation 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 $40.21 and $41.25. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Thursday, April 18, 2024, and so far it has risen 6.40%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. 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. 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).

Trading Expectations (ZION) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Wednesday 24th
For the upcoming trading day on Wednesday, 24th we expect Zions Bancorporation to open at $41.66, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $40.43 and $43.07, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$1.32 (+/-3.17%) up or down from last closing price. If Zions Bancorporation takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 6.33% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $41.90 (0.36%) than the support at $39.79 (4.69%), 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 Zions Bancorporation stock A Buy?
Zions Bancorporation holds several negative signals and we believe that it will still perform weakly in the next couple of days or weeks. We, therefore, hold a negative evaluation of this stock. Due to some small weaknesses in the technical picture we have downgraded our analysis conclusion for this stock since the last evaluation from a Hold/Accumulate to a Sell candidate.
