NKSH 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 National Bankshares 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 $29.77 and $29.08. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Thursday, November 13, 2025, and so far it has fallen -4.63%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. National Bankshares gained volume on the last day, but on falling prices. In technical terms, this is called divergence and may be an early warning. In some cases, increasing volume on falling prices may be considered positive, but that is mainly in typical "sell-offs".
