FFIN Signals & Forecast
There are mixed signals in the stock today. The First Financial Bankshares 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 $30.87. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the short-term average at $29.90.

Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Volume rose on falling prices yesterday. This may be an early warning and the stock should be followed more closely. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Wednesday, April 17, 2024, and so far it has risen 6.14%.
