Buy or Hold candidate since Jun 26, 2025 Gain 5.42%

The First Citizens BancShares stock price fell by -0.566% on the last day (Tuesday, 8th Jul 2025) from $2,077.97 to $2,066.20. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 1.38% from a day low at $2,065.32 to a day high of $2,093.90. The price has risen in 6 of the last 10 days and is up by 9.35% over the past 2 weeks. Volume has increased on the last day by 9 thousand shares but on falling prices. This may be an early warning and the risk will be increased slightly over the next couple of days. In total, 66 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $135.83 million.

The stock lies in the upper part of a wide and strong rising trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good selling opportunity for the short-term trader as reaction back towards the lower part of the trend can be expected. A break-up at the top trend line at $2,097.63 will firstly indicate a stronger rate of rising. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to rise 14.59% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $2,138.69 and $2,403.70 at the end of this 3-month period.

FCNCA Signals & Forecast

The First Citizens BancShares stock holds buy signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a positive forecast for the stock. Also, there is a general buy signal from the relation between the two signals where the short-term average is above the long-term average.

Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD).

A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Thursday, July 03, 2025, and so far it has fallen -1.08%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Volume rose on falling prices yesterday. This may be an early warning and the stock should be followed more closely.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for First Citizens BancShares stock

On the downside, the stock finds support just below today's level from accumulated volume at $1,956.86 and $1,778.04. 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, First Citizens BancShares finds support just below today's level at $1,956.86. If this is broken, then the next support from accumulated volume will be at $1,778.04 and $1,639.64.

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 $28.59 between high and low, or 1.38%. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 2.63%.

The First Citizens BancShares stock is overbought on RSI14 and lies in the upper part of the trend. Normally this may pose a good selling opportunity for the short-term trader, but some stock may go long and hard while being overbought. Regardless, the high RSI together with the trend position increases the risk and higher daily movements (volatility) should be expected. A correction down in the nearby future seems very likely and it is of great importance that the stock manages to break the trend before that occurs.

Our recommended stop-loss: $2,012.31 (-2.61%) (This stock has medium daily movements and this gives medium risk. The RSI14 is 89 and this increases the risk substantially. There is a sell signal from a pivot top found 2 days ago.)

Trading Expectations (FCNCA) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Wednesday 9th

For the upcoming trading day on Wednesday, 9th we expect First Citizens BancShares to open at $2,075.14, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $2,021.45 and $2,110.95, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$44.75 (+/-2.17%) up or down from last closing price. If First Citizens BancShares takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 4.33% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $2,073.91 (0.37%) than the support at $1,956.86 (5.29%), 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.
