(Updated on Jan 19, 2022)

The Mercury Systems Inc stock price fell by -0.66% on the last day (Wednesday, 19th Jan 2022) from $58.94 to $58.55. and has now fallen 3 days in a row. During the day the stock fluctuated 2.75% from a day low at $57.66 to a day high of $59.25. The price has fallen in 7 of the last 10 days, but is still up by 1.54% over the past 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day along with the stock, which is actually a good sign as volume should follow the stock. On the last day, the trading volume fell by -687 thousand shares and in total, 576 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $33.70 million.

The stock lies in the upper part of a wide and strong rising 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 $60.16 will firstly indicate a stronger rate of rising. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to rise 10.48% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $54.35 and $66.47 at the end of this 3-month period.

The Mercury Systems 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 $57.79 and $52.95. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Friday, January 14, 2022, and so far it has fallen -2.38%. 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). Volume fell together with the price during the last trading day and this reduces the overall risk as volume should follow the price movements.
