Slm Stock Forecast

Sell candidate since Jun 10, 2025 Loss -0.22%

The SLM Corporation stock price fell by -0.217% on the last day (Wednesday, 11th Jun 2025) from $18.41 to $18.37. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 1.03% from a day low at $18.37 to a day high of $18.56. The price has risen in 6 of the last 10 days and is up by 0.52% over the past 2 weeks. Volume has increased on the last day by 14 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, 33 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $612.07 thousand.

The stock lies the upper part of a wide and falling 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 $18.50 will firstly indicate a slower falling rate, but may be the first sign of a trend shift. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to fall -2.88% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $16.18 and $17.97 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.

JSM Signals & Forecast

There are mixed signals in the stock today. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Tuesday, May 20, 2025, and so far it has fallen -1.40%. 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). SLM Corporation gained volume on the last day, but on falling prices. In technical terms, this is called divergence and may be an early warning. In some cases, increasing volume on falling prices may be considered positive, but that is mainly in typical "sell-offs". The SLM Corporation 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. On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at $18.37 and $18.11. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals.
