UNFI Signals & Forecast
There are few to no technical positive signals at the moment. The United Natural Foods 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 $9.58 and $11.39. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Monday, February 12, 2024, and so far it has fallen -45.69%. 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). Volume fell together with the price during the last trading day and this reduces the overall risk as volume should follow the price movements.
