The Western Union Co stock price gained 0.256% on the last trading day (Friday, 10th Jul 2026), rising from $7.82 to $7.84. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 1.67% from a day low at $7.79 to a day high of $7.92. The price has risen in 7 of the last 10 days and is up by 8.06% over the past 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day by -3 million shares and in total, 4 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $28.62 million. You should take into consideration that falling volume on higher prices causes divergence and may be an early warning about possible changes over the next couple of days.

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.

WU Signals & Forecast

The Western Union Co stock holds a sell signal from the short-term Moving Average; at the same time, however, there is a buy signal from the long-term average. Since the short-term average is above the long-term average there is a general buy signal in the stock giving a positive forecast for the stock. On further gains, the stock will meet resistance from the short-term Moving Average at approximately $7.88. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the long-term average at approximately $7.72. A break-up through the short-term average will send a buy signal, whereas a breakdown through the long-term average will send a sell signal. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Tuesday, June 23, 2026, and so far it has risen 11.44%. 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 fell during the last trading day despite gaining prices. This causes a divergence between volume and price and it may be an early warning. The stock should be watched closely.
