Exact Sciences (EXAS) Recently Broke Out Above the 20-Day Moving Average
From a technical perspective, Exact Sciences is looking like an interesting pick, as it just reached a key level of support. EXAS recently overtook the 20-day moving average, and this suggests a short-term bullish trend.
The 20-day simple moving average is a popular trading tool. It provides a look back at a stock's price over a 20-day period, and is beneficial to short-term traders since it smooths out price fluctuations and provides more trend reversal signals than longer-term moving averages.
Similar to other SMAs, if a stock's price moves above the 20-day, the trend is considered positive, while price falling below the moving average can signal a downward trend.
EXAS could be on the verge of another rally after moving 14.1% higher over the last four weeks. Plus, the company is currently a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) stock.
Once investors consider EXAS's positive earnings estimate revisions, the bullish case only solidifies. No earnings estimate has been lowered in the past two months, compared to 3 raised estimates, for the current fiscal year, and the consensus estimate has increased as well.
Investors should think about putting EXAS on their watchlist given the ultra-important technical indicator and positive move in earnings estimate revisions.
