Xcel Energy Stock Forecast

Buy candidate since Nov 17, 2025

The Xcel Energy Inc stock price gained 0.91% on the last trading day (Monday, 17th Nov 2025), rising from $80.58 to $81.31. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 1.45% from a day low at $80.50 to a day high of $81.67. The price has been going up and down for this period, and there has been a 0.06% gain for the last 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day by -187 thousand shares and in total, 4 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $315.24 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.

The stock lies in the middle of a strong rising trend in the short term and a further rise within the trend is signaled. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to rise 15.50% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $91.93 and $100.44 at the end of this 3-month period.

XEL Signals & Forecast

The Xcel Energy Inc stock holds buy signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a positive forecast for the stock, but the stock has a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average. On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at $80.75 and $80.83. 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). 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. 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, October 08, 2025, and so far it has fallen -0.660%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found.

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

For the upcoming trading day on Tuesday, 18th we expect Xcel Energy Inc to open at $81.16, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $80.61 and $82.01, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$1.40 (+/-1.74%) up or down from last closing price. If Xcel Energy Inc takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 1.74% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $81.59 (0.34%) than the support at $77.93 (4.16%), 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.
