Red day on Monday for Verizon stock after losing 0.206%
(Updated on Jul 20, 2026)
The Verizon stock price fell by -0.206% on the last day (Monday, 20th Jul 2026) from $43.59 to $43.50. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 1.19% from a day low at $43.14 to a day high of $43.66. The price has fallen in 6 of the last 10 days but is still up by 3.4% over the past 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 -11 million shares and in total, 20 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $851.79 million.
The stock lies in the middle of a wide and falling trend in the short term and further fall within the trend is signaled. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to fall -10.01% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $36.88 and $41.48 at the end of this 3-month period. Do note, that if the stock price manages to stay at current levels or higher, our prediction target will start to change positively over the next few days as the conditions for the current predictions will be broken.
VZ Signals & Forecast
A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Wednesday, July 01, 2026, and so far it has risen 3.60%. 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). Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The Verizon stock holds a buy signal from the short-term Moving Average; at the same time, however, the long-term average holds a general sell signal. Since the longterm average is above the short-term average there is a general sell signal in the stock giving a more negative forecast for the stock. On further gains, the stock will meet resistance from the long-term Moving Average at $44.87. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the short-term average at $43.01. A break-up through the long-term average will give another buy signal, while a fall below the short-term average will add another sell signal and strengthen the general signal. Volume fell together with the price during the last trading day and this reduces the overall risk as volume should follow the price movements.
Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Verizon stock
Verizon finds support from accumulated volume at $42.56 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.

Our recommended stop-loss: We hold a negative evaluation for this stock. No stop-loss is set.
Trading Expectations (VZ) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Tuesday 21st
For the upcoming trading day on Tuesday, 21st we expect Verizon Communications Inc to open at $43.43, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $42.89 and $44.11, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$1.22 (+/-2.86%) up or down from last closing price. If Verizon Communications Inc takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 2.86% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $44.10 (1.38%) than the support at $42.56 (2.16%), 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.
