(Updated on Apr 18, 2024)
The Forward Air Corporation stock price gained 0.442% on the last trading day (Thursday, 18th Apr 2024), rising from $22.65 to $22.75. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 3.53% from a day low at $22.08 to a day high of $22.86. The price has been going up and down for this period, and there has been a -18.78% loss for the last 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day by -31 thousand shares and in total, 877 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $19.96 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 lies in the lower of a wide and falling trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good buying opportunity. If the lower trend floor at $22.23 is broken, it will firstly indicate a stronger fall rate. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to fall -48.72% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $11.40 and $14.05 at the end of this 3-month period. Do note, that if the stock price manages to stay at current levels or higher, our prediction target will start to change positively over the next few days as the conditions for the current predictions will be broken.

FWRD Signals & Forecast
A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Wednesday, April 17, 2024, and so far it has risen 0.442%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. 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. The Forward Air Corporation stock holds sell signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a more negative forecast for the stock. Also, there is a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average.

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