BBSI Signals & Forecast

There are few to no technical positive signals at the moment. The Barrett Business Services stock holds sell signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a more negative forecast for the stock. On corrections up, there will be some resistance from the lines at $41.70 and $41.57. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Monday, May 19, 2025, and so far it has fallen -3.43%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Volume rose on falling prices yesterday. This may be an early warning and the stock should be followed more closely. The stock had a Golden Star Signal on Thursday, April 24, 2025 in the short-term chart.

Golden Star Signal is when the short-term moving average, the long-term moving average, and price line meet in a special combination. This combination is very rare and often followed by long and strong gains for the stock in question.

Trading Expectations (BBSI) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Wednesday 18th

For the upcoming trading day on Wednesday, 18th we expect Barrett Business Services to open at $41.26, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $40.38 and $41.92, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.771 (+/-1.87%) up or down from last closing price. If Barrett Business Services takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 3.75% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $41.29 (0.34%) than the support at $40.44 (1.73%), our systems don't find the trading risk/reward intra-day attractive and any bets should be held until the stock is closer to the support level.
