The Luminar Technologies Inc stock price gained 5.21% on the last trading day (Friday, 7th Aug 2026), rising from $43.57 to $45.84. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 4.90% from a day low at $44.50 to a day high of $46.68. The price has risen in 6 of the last 10 days and is up by 18.69% over the past 2 weeks.

Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect Luminar Technologies Inc stock with a 90% probability to be traded between $33.05 and $46.32 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 stocks seldom manage to go directly from the bottom of a trend up to the top. Stocks turning up in the middle of a horizontal trend are therefore considered to be potential runners.
LAZR Signals & Forecast
The Luminar Technologies Inc 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 $41.05 and $23.99. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals.

Volume is rising along with the price. This is considered to be a good technical signal.
