SFBS Signals & Forecast
The ServisFirst Bancshares stock holds buy signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a positive forecast for the stock, but the stock has a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average. On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at $61.02 and $62.09. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Wednesday, April 17, 2024, and so far it has risen 7.75%. 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). Volume is rising along with the price. This is considered to be a good technical signal.

Trading Expectations (SFBS) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Tuesday 7th
For the upcoming trading day on Tuesday, 7th we expect ServisFirst Bancshares to open at $63.52, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $61.42 and $65.42, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$2.00 (+/-3.15%) up or down from last closing price. If ServisFirst Bancshares takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 6.31% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $63.76 (0.54%) than the support at $62.62 (1.26%), 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.
