Carriage Services Inc Stock Forecast
Red day on Monday for Carriage Services Inc
(Updated on May 20, 2024)
The Carriage Services Inc stock price fell by -1.88% on the last day (Monday, 20th May 2024) from $27.07 to $26.56. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 2.41% from a day low at $26.55 to a day high of $27.19. The price has fallen in 5 of the last 10 days but is still up by 3.19% over the past 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 -82 thousand shares and in total, 53 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $1.42 million.
The stockis at the upper part of a wide and horizontal trend and normally this may pose a good selling opportunity but a break-up through the top trend line at $27.29 will give a strong buy signal and a trend shift could be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect Carriage Services Inc stock with a 90% probability to be traded between $23.85 and $27.71 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.

CSV Signals & Forecast

Also, there is a general buy signal from the relation between the two signals where the short-term average is above the long-term average. On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at $26.55 and $25.35. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals.

Volume fell along with the price during the last trading day, which is technical positive.
