SM Signals & Forecast

There are mixed signals in the stock today. The SM Energy Company 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 $18.58 and $21.34. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. Volume fell together with the price during the last trading day and this reduces the overall risk as volume should follow the price movements. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Wednesday, November 05, 2025, and so far it has risen 3.03%. 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).

Trading Expectations (SM) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Tuesday 18th

For the upcoming trading day on Tuesday, 18th we expect SM Energy Company to open at $18.54, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $17.91 and $18.87, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.97 (+/-5.39%) up or down from last closing price.
