Citi Trends Stock Forecast
Green day on Wednesday for Citi Trends
(Updated on Mar 27, 2024)
The Citi Trends stock price gained 0.187% on the last trading day (Wednesday, 27th Mar 2024), rising from $26.74 to $26.79. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 2.52% from a day low at $26.64 to a day high of $27.31. The price has fallen in 7 of the last 10 days and is down by -13.8% for this period. Volume fell on the last day by -9 thousand shares and in total, 38 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $1.02 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 lies in the lower part of a wide and weak rising trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good buying opportunity. If the lower trend floor at $26.78 is broken, it will firstly indicate a slower rate of rising, but may also be an early warning for a trend shift. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to rise 7.50% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $28.79 and $35.18 at the end of this 3-month period.

CTRN Signals & Forecast
A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Tuesday, March 26, 2024, and so far it has risen 0.187%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The Citi Trends stock holds sell signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a more negative forecast for the stock. Also, there is a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average. On corrections up, there will be some resistance from the lines at $27.77 and $29.53. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Volume fell during the last trading day while the price increased. This causes a divergence and may be considered as an early warning, but it may also not.
