Sinclair Broadcast Group stock price ended at $13.76 on Monday, after losing 3.10%
(Market data through Aug 10, 2026)
The Sinclair Broadcast Group stock price fell by -3.10% on the last day (Monday, 10th Aug 2026) from $14.20 to $13.76. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 8.67% from a day low at $13.67 to a day high of $14.86. The price has been going up and down for this period, and there has been a 2% gain for the last 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 -443 thousand shares and in total, 803 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $11.05 million.
The stock is moving within a wide and horizontal trend and further movements within this trend can be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect Sinclair Broadcast Group stock with a 90% probability to be traded between $13.12 and $15.61 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.
SBGI 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 Sinclair Broadcast Group stock holds sell signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a more negative forecast for the stock. Also, there is a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average. On corrections up, there will be some resistance from the lines at $14.04 and $14.09. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Thursday, August 06, 2026, and so far it has fallen -6.78%. 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.

Trading Expectations (SBGI) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Tuesday 11th
For the upcoming trading day on Tuesday, 11th we expect Sinclair Broadcast Group to open at $14.10, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $13.41 and $14.11, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.695 (+/-5.18%) up or down from last closing price. If Sinclair Broadcast Group takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 5.18% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $13.80 (0.29%) than the support at $13.67 (0.65%), 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.
