National Research Corporation Stock Forecast

National Research Corporation stock downgraded from Sell Candidate to Strong Sell Candidate after Wednesday trading session.
(Updated on Apr 17, 2024)

NRC Signals & Forecast

There are few to no technical positive signals at the moment. The National Research Corporation 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 $34.72 and $38.51. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Wednesday, February 28, 2024, and so far it has fallen -18.63%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). National Research Corporation gained volume on the last day, but on falling prices. In technical terms, this is called divergence and may be an early warning. In some cases, increasing volume on falling prices may be considered positive, but that is mainly in typical "sell-offs".

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for National Research Corporation stock

There is no support from accumulated volume below today's level and given the right condition the stock may perform very badly in the next couple of days.

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 $2.59 between high and low, or 7.79%. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 3.54%.

National Research Corporation is oversold on RSI14 (17). Some stocks may drop long and hard while being oversold on RSI before turning, which increases the general risk.

Our recommended stop-loss: We hold a negative evaluation for this stock. No stop-loss is set.

Trading Expectations (NRC) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Thursday 18th

For the upcoming trading day on Thursday, 18th we expect National Research Corporation to open at $34.14, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $32.28 and $34.36, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$1.04 (+/-3.13%) up or down from last closing price. If National Research Corporation takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 6.27% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

With no support below and resistance from accumulated volume @ $39.70, some $6.38 (19.15%) from the current price of $33.32, our system finds the risk reward not very attractive.

Is National Research Corporation stock A Buy?

National Research Corporation holds several negative signals and is within a wide and falling trend, so we believe it will still perform weakly in the next couple of days or weeks. We therefore hold a negative evaluation of this stock. Due to some small weaknesses in the technical picture we have downgraded our analysis conclusion for this stock since the last evaluation from a Sell to a Strong Sell candidate.

Current score: -5.738 Strong Sell Candidate Downgraded
