Fastenal Company Stock Forecast

Stronger technical forecast for Fastenal Company stock price after Friday trading.
(Updated on Apr 26, 2024)

FAST Signals & Forecast

A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Monday, April 22, 2024, and so far it has risen 1.07%. 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. The Fastenal Company stock holds a buy signal from the short-term Moving Average; at the same time, however, the long-term average holds a general sell signal. 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 $73.53. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the short-term average at $67.73. 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. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD).

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Fastenal Company stock

Fastenal Company finds support from accumulated volume at $67.57 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.

This stock has average movements during the day and with good trading volume, the risk is considered to be medium. During the last day, the stock moved $0.92 between high and low, or 1.36%. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 1.55%.

Fastenal Company is oversold on RSI14 (13). Some stocks may fall long and hard while being oversold on RSI, but stocks that are heavily oversold on RSI often pose good re-bounce chance and played well it can be a buy candidate.

Our recommended stop-loss: $63.81 (-6.40%) (This stock has medium daily movements and this gives medium risk. Low RSI14 is 13 which reduces the risk some. There is a buy signal from a pivot bottom found 4 days ago.)

Trading Expectations (FAST) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 29th

For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 29th we expect Fastenal Company to open at $68.15, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $66.80 and $69.54, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$1.37 (+/-2.01%) up or down from last closing price. If Fastenal Company takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 4.02% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $68.23 (0.09%) than the support at $67.57 (0.88%), our systems don't find the trading risk/reward intra-day attractive and any bets should be held until the stock is closer to the support level.

Is Fastenal Company stock A Buy?

Fastenal Company holds several positive signals, but we still don't find these to be enough for a buy candidate. At the current level, it should be considered as a hold candidate (hold or accumulate) in this position whilst awaiting further development. We have upgraded our analysis conclusion for this stock since the last evaluation from a Sell to a Hold/Accumulate candidate.

Current score: -0.771 Hold/Accumulate Upgraded
