Carriage Services Inc Stock Forecast
Weaker technical forecast for Carriage Services Inc as stock downgraded to Hold/Accumulate.
(Updated on Apr 24, 2024)
The Carriage Services Inc stock price gained 0.95% on the last trading day (Wednesday, 24th Apr 2024), rising from $25.18 to $25.42. It has now gained 5 days in a row. It will be exciting to see whether it manages to continue gaining or take a minor break for the next few days. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 2.89% from a day low at $24.90 to a day high of $25.62. The price has risen in 6 of the last 10 days and is up by 5.08% over the past 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day by -2 thousand shares and in total, 85 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $2.17 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 is moving within a wide and horizontal trend and further movements within this trend can be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect Carriage Services Inc stock with a 90% probability to be traded between $23.55 and $27.37 at the end of this 3-month period. A break of a horizontal trend is often followed by a large increase in the volume, and stocks seldom manage to go directly from the bottom of a trend up to the top. Stocks turning up in the middle of a horizontal trend are therefore considered to be potential runners.

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 $25.45. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the short-term average at $24.31. 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.

A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Wednesday, April 17, 2024, and so far it has risen 9.01%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. 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.
