Five Below (FIVE) Crossed Above the 50-Day Moving Average: What That Means for Investors

FIVE

Five Below (FIVE - Free Report) is looking like an interesting pick from a technical perspective, as the company reached a key level of support. Recently, FIVE broke out above the 50-day moving average, suggesting a short-term bullish trend.

The 50-day simple moving average, which is one of three major moving averages, is widely used by traders and analysts to establish support and resistance levels for a range of securities. Because it's the first sign of an up or down trend, the 50-day is considered to be more important.

Shares of FIVE have been moving higher over the past four weeks, up 9%. Plus, the company is currently a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) stock, suggesting that FIVE could be poised for a continued surge.

The bullish case only gets stronger once investors take into account FIVE's positive earnings estimate revisions. There have been 9 higher compared to none lower for the current fiscal year, and the consensus estimate has moved up as well.

Investors may want to watch FIVE for more gains in the near future given the company's key technical level and positive earnings estimate revisions.
