ICFI Signals & Forecast
The ICF International 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 $148.17. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the long-term average at approximately $145.32.

A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Friday, May 10, 2024, and so far it has fallen -3.78%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Volume rose on falling prices yesterday. This may be an early warning and the stock should be followed more closely.
