First National Community Bancorp Inc Stock Forecast

Green day on Tuesday for First National Community Bancorp Inc stock after gaining 1.27%
(Updated on Apr 23, 2024)

FNCB Signals & Forecast

There are mixed signals in the stock today. The First National Community Bancorp Inc 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 $5.71. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the short-term average at $5.42. 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). Volume fell during the last trading day while the price increased. This causes a divergence and may be considered as an early warning, but it may not be. The very low volume increases the risk and reduces the other technical signals issued. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Wednesday, April 17, 2024, and so far it has risen 6.08%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found.
