Nike stock downgraded to Sell Candidate
(Updated on Jul 20, 2026)
The Nike stock price fell by -0.663% on the last day (Monday, 20th Jul 2026) from $43.76 to $43.47. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 2.36% from a day low at $42.83 to a day high of $43.84. The price has fallen in 8 of the last 10 days but is still up by 0.3% 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 -2 million shares and in total, 12 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $517.93 million.
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 -3.04% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $39.16 and $45.12 at the end of this 3-month period.
NKE Signals & Forecast
Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The Nike stock holds sell signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a more negative forecast for the stock. On corrections up, there will be some resistance from the lines at $43.65 and $43.58. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Thursday, July 16, 2026, and so far it has fallen -2.47%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Volume fell together with the price during the last trading day and this reduces the overall risk as volume should follow the price movements.
Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Nike stock
Nike finds support from accumulated volume at $43.09 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.
This stock has average movements during the day and with good trading volume, the risk is considered to be medium. During the last day, the stock moved $1.01 between high and low, or 2.36%. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 3.44%.
Our recommended stop-loss: We hold a negative evaluation for this stock. No stop-loss is set.
Trading Expectations (NKE) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Tuesday 21st
For the upcoming trading day on Tuesday, 21st we expect Nike to open at $43.38, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $42.74 and $44.20, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$1.46 (+/-3.42%) up or down from last closing price. If Nike takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 3.42% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the support from accumulated volume at $43.09 (0.87%) than the resistance at $44.19 (1.66%), our systems sees the trading risk/reward intra-day as attractive and believe profit can be made before the stock reaches first resistance..
Is Nike stock A Buy?
Nike holds several negative signals and is within a wide and falling trend, so we believe it will still perform weakly in the next couple of days or weeks. We therefore hold a negative evaluation of this stock. Due to some small weaknesses in the technical picture we have downgraded our analysis conclusion for this stock since the last evaluation from a Hold to a Sell candidate.
