C&F Financial Corporation Stock Forecast
Stronger technical forecast for C&F Financial Corporation stock price after Wednesday trading.
(Updated on Apr 17, 2024)
The C&F Financial Corporation stock price gained 2.11% on the last trading day (Wednesday, 17th Apr 2024), rising from $34.62 to $35.35. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 6.09% from a day low at $33.51 to a day high of $35.55. The price has fallen in 8 of the last 10 days and is down by -26.34% for this period. Volume fell on the last day by -13 thousand shares and in total, 22 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $772.43 thousand. 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 lies in the lower of a very wide and falling trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good buying opportunity. If the lower trend floor at $34.37 is broken, it will firstly indicate a stronger fall rate. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to fall -25.38% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $25.64 and $34.47 at the end of this 3-month period. Do note, that if the stock price manages to stay at current levels or higher, our prediction target will start to change positively over the next few days as the conditions for the current predictions will be broken.
