Grand Canyon Education Stock Forecast

Sell candidate since Mar 17, 2025

The Grand Canyon Education stock price gained 0.432% on the last trading day (Monday, 17th Mar 2025), rising from $168.91 to $169.64. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 2.04% from a day low at $166.90 to a day high of $170.30. The price has been going up and down for this period, and there has been a -6.22% loss for the last 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day by -74 thousand shares and in total, 135 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $22.90 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 lower part of a wide and weak rising trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good buying opportunity. If the lower trend floor at $165.43 is broken, it will firstly indicate a slower rate of rising, but may also be an early warning for a trend shift. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to rise 9.50% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $181.15 and $210.41 at the end of this 3-month period.

LOPE Signals & Forecast

There are mixed signals in the stock today. The Grand Canyon Education 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 $177.15. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the short-term average at $168.34. 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. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Thursday, March 13, 2025, and so far it has risen 2.90%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. 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.
