Granite Construction Incorporated stock upgraded from Sell Candidate to Hold/Accumulate after Friday trading session.
(Updated on Apr 26, 2024)

GVA Signals & Forecast

The Granite Construction Incorporated 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 $54.33 and $55.11. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. 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. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Wednesday, March 27, 2024, and so far it has fallen -3.19%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD).

Trading Expectations (GVA) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 29th

For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 29th we expect Granite Construction Incorporated to open at $55.36, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $54.24 and $56.82, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$1.29 (+/-2.33%) up or down from last closing price. If Granite Construction Incorporated takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 4.65% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $55.90 (0.67%) than the support at $54.44 (1.96%), 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.
