HEES Signals & Forecast

There are mixed signals in the stock today. The H&E Equipment Services stock holds sell signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a more negative forecast for the stock. Also, there is a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average. On corrections up, there will be some resistance from the lines at $48.67 and $55.16. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. Volume fell together with the price during the last trading day and this reduces the overall risk as volume should follow the price movements.

Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). The stock had a Golden Star Signal on Thursday, November 30, 2023 in the long-term chart.
