CVR Energy stock upgraded to Hold/Accumulate
(Market data through Aug 10, 2026)
The CVR Energy stock price gained 4.08% on the last trading day (Monday, 10th Aug 2026), rising from $31.15 to $32.42. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 2.09% from a day low at $32.13 to a day high of $32.80. The price has been going up and down for this period, and there has been a -4.84% loss for the last 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day by -124 thousand shares and in total, 679 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $22.02 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 is moving within a very wide and horizontal trend and further movements within this trend can be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect CVR Energy stock with a 90% probability to be traded between $26.84 and $38.12 at the end of this 3-month period. A break of a horizontal trend is often followed by a large increase in the volume, and stocks seldom manage to go directly from the bottom of a trend up to the top. Stocks turning up in the middle of a horizontal trend are therefore considered to be potential runners.
CVI Signals & Forecast
The CVR Energy stock holds a sell signal from the short-term Moving Average; at the same time, however, there is a buy signal from the long-term average. Since the short-term average is above the long-term average there is a general buy signal in the stock giving a positive forecast for the stock. On further gains, the stock will meet resistance from the short-term Moving Average at approximately $32.57. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the long-term average at approximately $31.67. A break-up through the short-term average will send a buy signal, whereas a breakdown through the long-term average will send a sell signal. 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. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Thursday, July 30, 2026, and so far it has fallen -14.86%. 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).
Support, Risk & Stop-loss for CVR Energy stock
On the downside, the stock finds support just below today's level from accumulated volume at $27.40 and $27.20. There is a natural risk involved when a stock is testing a support level, since if this is broken, the stock then may fall to the next support level. In this case, CVR Energy finds support just below today's level at $27.40. If this is broken, then the next support from accumulated volume will be at $27.20 and $27.10.
This stock has average movements during the day and with good trading volume, the risk is considered to be medium. During the last day, the stock moved $0.670 between high and low, or 2.09%. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 4.95%.
Our recommended stop-loss: $30.58 (-5.68%) (This stock has medium daily movements and this gives medium risk. There is a sell signal from a pivot top found 7 days ago.)
Trading Expectations (CVI) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Tuesday 11th
For the upcoming trading day on Tuesday, 11th we expect CVR Energy Inc to open at $32.45, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $31.44 and $33.40, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$1.97 (+/-6.25%) up or down from last closing price. If CVR Energy Inc takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 6.25% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $33.46 (3.21%) than the support at $27.40 (15.48%), 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.
