EPAM Systems Inc Stock Forecast
Red day on Thursday for EPAM Systems Inc stock after losing 0.715%
(Updated on Apr 18, 2024)
The EPAM Systems Inc stock price fell by -0.715% on the last day (Thursday, 18th Apr 2024) from $249.00 to $247.22. It has now fallen 7 days in a row. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 2.60% from a day low at $244.70 to a day high of $251.06. The price has fallen in 8 of the last 10 days and is down by -7.01% for this period. Volume has increased on the last day by 385 thousand shares but on falling prices. This may be an early warning and the risk will be increased slightly over the next couple of days. In total, 576 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $142.50 million.
The stock has broken the wide and falling short-term trend down. Firstly a stronger fallrate is indicated, but false breaks and "sell-off" may occur. However, a further fall is realistic and any reactions back to the breaking point ($248.81) are considered to be a "second chance" to get out. According to the fan-theory $198.36 will represent the new bottom line of the next trend, but it is far too early to say this for certain.

EPAM 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 EPAM Systems Inc stock holds sell signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a more negative forecast for the stock. Also, there is a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average. On corrections up, there will be some resistance from the lines at $256.34 and $282.30. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Thursday, March 07, 2024, and so far it has fallen -21.43%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Volume rose on falling prices yesterday. This may be an early warning and the stock should be followed more closely.
