UFPI Signals & Forecast

There are few to no technical positive signals at the moment. The Universal Forest Products 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 $90.67 and $91.46. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Friday, September 05, 2025, and so far it has fallen -14.84%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Volume rose on falling prices yesterday. This may be an early warning and the stock should be followed more closely.

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

For the upcoming trading day on Tuesday, 18th we expect Universal Forest Products to open at $89.17, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $87.35 and $89.43, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$2.08 (+/-2.38%) up or down from last closing price. If Universal Forest Products takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 2.38% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

With no support below and resistance from accumulated volume @ $89.79, some $1.40 (1.58%) from the current price of $88.39, our system finds the risk reward not very attractive.
