*Support can be considered as an indicative stop-loss, and if prices move below that level on closing basis individuals may evaluate exiting the position depending on their risk appetite, previous holdings, and other factors considered. The support and resistance levels may need to be re-evaluated within 4-6 weeks’ time frame depending on the stock price movements from the date of recommendation on the stock.
Finance of America Companies Inc. (NYSE: FOA) has recently broken out of a horizontal trendline resistance zone, establishing a higher high pattern that suggests a potential near-term uptrend. As the stock rises, it may encounter a significant resistance level at USD 11.60 within 2-4 weeks. A successful breach of this level could trigger additional buying momentum, leading to further gains.
On the daily chart, the 14-period Relative Strength Index (RSI) is positioned above the midpoint at 81.54, reinforcing a positive bias. Trading volumes also indicate strong support for this upward movement. Moreover, the stock is trading above its 21-day and 50-day Simple Moving Averages (SMAs), which may support any short-term price fluctuations.
Based on the current price action and technical indicators, FOA appears to be well-positioned on the chart. FOA's ‘Speculative Buy’ recommendation has been issued for the stock at USD 9.35 as of September 5, 2024.
