Ameris Bancorp Stock Forecast
Ameris Bancorp stock upgraded to Strong Buy Candidate.
(Updated on May 03, 2024)
The Ameris Bancorp stock price gained 2.34% on the last trading day (Friday, 3rd May 2024), rising from $48.68 to $49.82. 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 1.63% from a day low at $49.19 to a day high of $49.99. The price has risen in 8 of the last 10 days and is up by 7.65% over the past 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day by -62 thousand shares and in total, 271 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $13.51 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 has broken the horizontal trend up. Breaks like this are often followed by swift and strong movements, and any correction down to the breakline at approximately. $48.53 is considered to be a "second chance" to hit a potential runner. It is, however, important that volume does follow the price as false breaks may appear and it may move back into the horizontal trend. Based on the rectangle-formation theory the stock is predicted to reach $52.54 sometime during the next 3 months.
