During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 4.73% from a day low at $135.74 to a day high of $142.15. The price has been going up and down for this period, and there has been a -5.22% loss for the last 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day along with the stock, which is actually a good sign as volume should follow the stock.

The stock lies in the lower part of a wide and strong rising trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good buying opportunity.

ARCB Signals & Forecast
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 ArcBest Corporation stock holds sell signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a more negative forecast for the stock. On corrections up, there will be some resistance from the lines at $146.38 and $140.30. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Thursday, April 11, 2024, and so far it has fallen -10.22%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found.
