MacroGenics (MGNX) Recently Broke Out Above the 20-Day Moving Average
After reaching an important support level, MacroGenics (MGNX) could be a good stock pick from a technical perspective. MGNX surpassed resistance at the 20-day moving average, suggesting a short-term bullish trend.
The 20-day simple moving average is a popular investing tool. Traders like this SMA because it offers a look back at a stock's price over a shorter period and helps smooth out price fluctuations. The 20-day can also show more trend reversal signals than longer-term moving averages.
The 20-day moving average can show signals that are similar to other SMAs as well. If a stock's price is moving above the 20-day, the trend is considered positive. When the price falls below the moving average, it can signal a downward trend.
MGNX could be on the verge of another rally after moving 43% higher over the last four weeks. Plus, the company is currently a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) stock.
Looking at MGNX's earnings estimate revisions, investors will be even more convinced of the bullish uptrend. There have been 4 revisions higher for the current fiscal year compared to none lower, and the consensus estimate has moved up as well.
With a winning combination of earnings estimate revisions and hitting a key technical level, investors should keep their eye on MGNX for more gains in the near future.
