DNOW Signals & Forecast

The NOW Inc 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 $13.03 and $13.26. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Thursday, July 02, 2026, and so far it has risen 7.94%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Volume is rising along with the price. This is considered to be a good technical signal. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). The stock had a Golden Star Signal on Tuesday, May 26, 2026 in the long-term chart.

Golden Star Signal is when the short-term moving average, the long-term moving average, and price line meet in a special combination. This combination is very rare and often followed by long and strong gains for the stock in question.

Trading Expectations (DNOW) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Thursday 16th

For the upcoming trading day on Thursday, 16th we expect NOW Inc to open at $13.44, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $13.40 and $13.80, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.397 (+/-2.96%) up or down from last closing price. If NOW Inc takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 2.96% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $13.70 (0.74%) than the support at $13.50 (0.74%), 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.
