Jack Henry & Associates Stock Forecast
Jack Henry & Associates stock price up 0.562% on Wednesday
(Updated on Apr 17, 2024)
The Jack Henry & Associates stock price gained 0.562% on the last trading day (Wednesday, 17th Apr 2024), rising from $163.75 to $164.67. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 1.24% from a day low at $163.53 to a day high of $165.55. The price has fallen in 6 of the last 10 days and is down by -3.28% for this period. Volume has increased on the last day along with the price, which is a positive technical sign, and, in total, 62 thousand more shares were traded than the day before. In total, 276 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $45.40 million.
The stock is at the lower part of a horizontal trend in the short term, and normally this may pose a good buying opportunity, though a breakdown through the bottom trend line at $163.76 will give a strong sell signal and a trend shift may be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect Jack Henry & Associates stock with a 90% probability to be traded between $164.21 and $176.73 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.
