Curtiss-Wright Corporation Stock Forecast

Curtiss-Wright Corporation stock downgraded to Hold/Accumulate
(Updated on May 03, 2024)

CW Signals & Forecast

The Curtiss-Wright Corporation stock holds buy signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a positive forecast for the stock. 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 $258.00 and $252.67. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Monday, April 15, 2024, and so far it has risen 8.55%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Volume is rising along with the price. This is considered to be a good technical signal.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Curtiss-Wright Corporation stock

On the downside, the stock finds support just below today's level from accumulated volume at $253.42 and $242.87. There is a natural risk involved when a stock is testing a support level, since if this is broken, the stock then may fall to the next support level. In this case, Curtiss-Wright Corporation finds support just below today's level at $253.42. If this is broken, then the next support from accumulated volume will be at $242.87 and $234.65.

In general the stock tends to have very controlled movements and with good liquidity the risk is considered very low in this stock. During the last day, the stock moved $3.93 between high and low, or 1.48%. For the last week the stock has had daily average volatility of 2.93%.

The Curtiss-Wright Corporation stock is overbought on RSI14 and lies in the upper part of the trend. Normally this may pose a good selling opportunity for the short-term trader, but some stocks may go long and hard while being overbought and the RSI is still moving upwards. Regardless, the high RSI together with the trend position increases the risk and higher daily movements (volatility) should be expected. A correction down in the nearby future seems very likely, and it is of great importance that the stock manages to break the trend before that occurs.

Our recommended stop-loss: $256.63 (-4.31%) (This stock has low daily movements and this gives low risk. The RSI14 is 83 and this increases the risk substantially. There is a buy signal from a pivot bottom found 14 days ago.)

Trading Expectations (CW) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 6th

For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 6th we expect Curtiss-Wright Corporation to open at $267.42, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $263.01 and $273.39, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$5.19 (+/-1.93%) up or down from last closing price. If Curtiss-Wright Corporation takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 3.87% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

With no resistance above and support from accumulated volume @ $253.42, some $14.78 (5.51%) from the current price of $268.20, our system finds the risk reward attractive.

Is Curtiss-Wright Corporation stock A Buy?

Curtiss-Wright Corporation holds several positive signals, but we still don't find these to be enough for a buy candidate. At the current level, it should be considered as a hold candidate (hold or accumulate) in this position whilst awaiting further development. Due to some small weaknesses in the technical picture we have downgraded our analysis conclusion for this stock since the last evaluation from a Strong Buy to a Hold/Accumulate candidate.

Current score: 0.000 Hold/Accumulate Downgraded

Zero in score indicates that our system is expecting high volatility and risk for the following trading day. Given the latest developments, we cannot determine the next direction as it may go both ways.
