Slm Stock Forecast

Hold candidate since Nov 17, 2025

The SLM Corporation stock price gained 0.84% on the last trading day (Monday, 17th Nov 2025), rising from $19.07 to $19.23. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 0.94% from a day low at $19.15 to a day high of $19.33. The price has risen in 7 of the last 10 days and is up by 2.29% over the past 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day by -6 thousand shares and in total, 5 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $94.86 thousand. 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 is moving within a horizontal trend and further movements within this trend can be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect SLM Corporation stock with a 90% probability to be traded between $18.55 and $19.88 at the end of this 3-month period. A break of a horizontal trend is often followed by a large increase in the volume, and stock seldom manage to go directly from the bottom of a trend up to the top. Stock turning up in the middle of a horizontal trend are therefore considered to be potential runners.

JSM Signals & Forecast

A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Friday, November 14, 2025, and so far it has risen 0.84%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. 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. The SLM 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. On corrections up, there will be some resistance from the lines at $19.24 and $19.52. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. Volume fell during the last trading day while the price increased. This causes a divergence and may be considered as an early warning, but it may not be. The very low volume increases the risk and reduces the other technical signals issued.
