Red day on Thursday for Community Trust Bancorp
(Updated on Apr 25, 2024)
The Community Trust Bancorp stock price fell by -1.32% on the last day (Thursday, 25th Apr 2024) from $43.34 to $42.77. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 1.25% from a day low at $42.36 to a day high of $42.89. The price has risen in 7 of the last 10 days and is up by 6.84% over the past 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day along with the stock, which is actually a good sign as volume should follow the stock. On the last day, the trading volume fell by -1 thousand shares and in total, 38 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $1.63 million.
The stockis at the upper part of a wide and horizontal trend and normally this may pose a good selling opportunity but a break-up through the top trend line at $43.35 will give a strong buy signal and a trend shift could be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect Community Trust Bancorp stock with a 90% probability to be traded between $39.77 and $44.22 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.
