LKQ Corporation Stock Forecast
Stronger technical forecast for LKQ Corporation stock price after Tuesday trading.
(Updated on Jul 02, 2024)
The LKQ Corporation stock price gained 1.18% on the last trading day (Tuesday, 2nd Jul 2024), rising from $41.50 to $41.99. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 1.70% from a day low at $41.49 to a day high of $42.20. The price has risen in 7 of the last 10 days and is up by 3.07% over the past 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day by -410 thousand shares and in total, 2 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $64.80 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 middle of a wide and falling trend in the short term and further fall within the trend is signaled. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to fall -17.88% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $31.72 and $35.38 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.

LKQ Signals & Forecast
A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Friday, June 14, 2024, and so far it has risen 4.22%. 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). 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 LKQ Corporation stock holds a buy signal from the short-term Moving Average; at the same time, however, the long-term average holds a general sell signal. Since the longterm average is above the short-term average there is a general sell signal in the stock giving a more negative forecast for the stock. On further gains, the stock will meet resistance from the long-term Moving Average at $42.43. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the short-term average at $41.66. A break-up through the long-term average will give another buy signal, while a fall below the short-term average will add another sell signal and strengthen the general signal.
