Nl Industries Stock Forecast

Buy candidate since Jul 10, 2026

The NL Industries Inc stock price fell by -0.656% on the last day (Friday, 10th Jul 2026) from $6.10 to $6.06. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 1.49% from a day low at $6.06 to a day high of $6.15. The price has risen in 6 of the last 10 days and is up by 5.21% 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 thousand shares and in total, 10 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $61.58 thousand.

The stock is at the lower part of a very wide and horizontal trend in the short term, and normally this may pose a good buying opportunity, though a breakdown through the bottom trend line at $5.72 will give a strong sell signal and a trend shift may be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect NL Industries Inc stock with a 90% probability to be traded between $5.77 and $8.62 at the end of this 3-month period. A break of a horizontal trend is often followed by a large increase in the volume, and stocks seldom manage to go directly from the bottom of a trend up to the top. Stocks turning up in the middle of a horizontal trend are therefore considered to be potential runners.

NL Signals & Forecast

A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Monday, June 01, 2026, and so far it has risen 6.50%. 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). Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The NL Industries Inc 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 $6.25. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the short-term average at $6.05. 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. Volume fell along with the price during the last trading day which is technical positive. One should, however, note that this stock may have low liquidity in periods, which increases the general risk. The very low volume increases the risk and reduces the other technical signals issued. The stock had a Golden Star Signal on Thursday, April 23, 2026 in the short-term chart.

Golden Star Signal is when the short-term moving average, the long-term moving average, and price line meet in a special combination. This combination is very rare and often followed by long and strong gains for the stock in question.

Trading Expectations (NL) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 13th

For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 13th we expect NL Industries Inc to open at $6.09, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $5.92 and $6.20, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.275 (+/-4.63%) up or down from last closing price. If NL Industries Inc takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 4.63% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $6.07 (0.17%) than the support at $5.97 (1.49%), our systems don't find the trading risk/reward intra-day attractive and any bets should be held until the stock is closer to the support level.
