Service Corporation International Stock Forecast
Red day on Friday for Service Corporation International stock after losing 2.89%
(Updated on May 03, 2024)
The Service Corporation International stock price fell by -2.89% on the last day (Friday, 3rd May 2024) from $69.60 to $67.59. It has now fallen 4 days in a row. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 4.46% from a day low at $67.19 to a day high of $70.19. The price has been going up and down for this period, and there has been a -1.74% loss 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 -150 thousand shares and in total, 1 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $86.40 million.
The stock is at the lower part of a 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 $65.80 will give a strong sell signal and a trend shift may be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect Service Corporation International stock with a 90% probability to be traded between $66.24 and $76.39 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.
