(Updated on Apr 19, 2024)

CNA Signals & Forecast

The CNA Financial Corporation 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 $43.39 and $43.97. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Wednesday, April 17, 2024, and so far it has risen 3.81%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Volume is rising along with the price. This is considered to be a good technical signal. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). The stock had a Golden Star Signal on Tuesday, March 26, 2024 in the short-term chart.

Golden Star Signal is when the short-term moving average, the long-term moving average, and price line meet in a special combination. This combination is very rare and often followed by long and strong gains for the stock in question.

For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 22nd we expect CNA Financial Corporation to open at $44.21, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $43.77 and $45.11, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.667 (+/-1.50%) up or down from last closing price.
