Signals & Forecast

The Credit Acceptance Corporation stock holds buy signals from both short and long-term moving averages giving a positive forecast for the stock, but the stock has a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average. On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at $639.35 and $640.96. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Tuesday, November 30, 2021, and so far it has risen 3.79%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Volume fell during the last trading day despite gaining prices. This causes a divergence between volume and price and it may be an early warning. The stock should be watched closely.

Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD).
