Curtiss-Wright Corporation stock downgraded to Sell Candidate
(Market data through Aug 05, 2026)
The Curtiss-Wright Corporation stock price fell by -1.18% on the last day (Wednesday, 5th Aug 2026) from $757.31 to $748.41. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 3.13% from a day low at $746.11 to a day high of $769.43. The price has risen in 6 of the last 10 days and is up by 2.17% over the past 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day along with the stock, which is actually a good sign as volume should follow the stock. On the last day, the trading volume fell by -25 thousand shares and in total, 208 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $156.00 million.
The stockis at the upper part of a wide and horizontal trend and normally this may pose a good selling opportunity but a break-up through the top trend line at $757.42 will give a strong buy signal and a trend shift could be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect Curtiss-Wright Corporation stock with a 90% probability to be traded between $686.29 and $764.46 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.
CW Signals & Forecast
The Curtiss-Wright 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 $728.89 and $747.58. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). 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 Tuesday, August 04, 2026, and so far it has fallen -1.18%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Volume fell together with the price during the last trading day and this reduces the overall risk as volume should follow the price movements.
Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Curtiss-Wright Corporation stock

Trading Expectations (CW) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Thursday 6th
For the upcoming trading day on Thursday, 6th we expect Curtiss-Wright Corporation to open at $754.65, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $734.22 and $762.60, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$28.37 (+/-3.86%) up or down from last closing price. If Curtiss-Wright Corporation takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 3.86% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the support from accumulated volume at $747.61 (0.11%) than the resistance at $751.00 (0.35%), our systems sees the trading risk/reward intra-day as attractive and believe profit can be made before the stock reaches first resistance..
