FTV Signals & Forecast

The Fortive Corp 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 $51.50. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the long-term average at approximately $49.98. 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. 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 Wednesday, November 12, 2025, and so far it has fallen -2.90%. 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.

For the upcoming trading day on Tuesday, 18th we expect Fortive Corp to open at $50.93, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $49.94 and $51.10, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$1.16 (+/-2.31%) up or down from last closing price.

Since the stock is closer to the support from accumulated volume at $50.34 (0.36%) than the resistance at $51.08 (1.11%), our systems sees the trading risk/reward intra-day as attractive and believe profit can be made before the stock reaches first resistance..
