Encore Capital Group Inc stock price ended at $40.54 on Tuesday, after losing 3.34%.
(Updated on Apr 16, 2024)
The Encore Capital Group Inc stock price fell by -3.34% on the last day (Tuesday, 16th Apr 2024) from $41.94 to $40.54. It has now fallen 5 days in a row. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 6.08% from a day low at $40.44 to a day high of $42.90. The price has fallen in 7 of the last 10 days and is down by -7.25% for this period. Volume has increased on the last day by 79 thousand shares but on falling prices. This may be an early warning and the risk will be increased slightly over the next couple of days. In total, 275 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $11.14 million.
The stock lies in the lower of a wide and falling trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good buying opportunity. If the lower trend floor at $39.60 is broken, it will firstly indicate a stronger fall rate. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to fall -16.15% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $33.20 and $40.06 at the end of this 3-month period. Do note, that if the stock price manages to stay at current levels or higher, our prediction target will start to change positively over the next few days as the conditions for the current predictions will be broken.
ECPG Signals & Forecast
There are few to no technical positive signals at the moment. The Encore Capital Group Inc 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 $43.26 and $45.97. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals.

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.
