Southwest Airlines Company Stock Forecast

Southwest Airlines Company stock downgraded to Sell Candidate
(Updated on Apr 17, 2024)

LUV Signals & Forecast

A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Friday, April 12, 2024, and so far it has risen 4.50%. 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 is rising along with the price. This is considered to be a good technical signal. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The Southwest Airlines Company 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 $29.94. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the short-term average at $28.25. 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.
