Stock Yards Bancorp stock upgraded from Hold/Accumulate to Buy Candidate after Thursday trading session
(Updated on Jul 02, 2026)
The Stock Yards Bancorp stock price fell by -0.153% on the last day (Thursday, 2nd Jul 2026) from $78.27 to $78.15. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 1.84% from a day low at $77.38 to a day high of $78.80. The price has risen in 8 of the last 10 days and is up by 8.06% over the past 2 weeks. Volume has increased on the last day by 3 thousand shares but on falling prices. This may be an early warning and the risk will be increased slightly over the next couple of days. In total, 225 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $17.62 million.
The stock lies in the upper part of a wide and weak rising trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good selling opportunity for the short-term trader as reaction back towards the lower part of the trend can be expected. A break-up at the top trend line at $78.35 will firstly indicate a stronger rate of rising. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to rise 7.04% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $76.08 and $83.87 at the end of this 3-month period.
SYBT Signals & Forecast
The Stock Yards Bancorp stock holds buy signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a positive forecast for the stock. Also, there is a general buy signal from the relation between the two signals where the short-term average is above the long-term average. On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at $76.53 and $72.95. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. 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. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Wednesday, July 01, 2026, and so far it has fallen -0.153%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Volume rose on falling prices yesterday. This may be an early warning and the stock should be followed more closely.

Trading Expectations (SYBT) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 6th
For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 6th we expect Stock Yards Bancorp to open at $78.11, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $77.20 and $79.10, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$1.89 (+/-2.45%) up or down from last closing price. If Stock Yards Bancorp takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 2.45% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $78.27 (0.15%) than the support at $76.31 (2.35%), 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.
