Arcutis Biotherapeutics, Inc. (ARQT) Recently Broke Out Above the 20-Day Moving Average
Arcutis Biotherapeutics, Inc. (ARQT - Free Report) reached a significant support level, and could be a good pick for investors from a technical perspective. Recently, ARQT broke through the 20-day moving average, which suggests a short-term bullish trend.
A well-liked tool among traders, the 20-day simple moving average offers a look back at a stock's price over a 20-day period. This is very beneficial to short-term traders, as it smooths out short-term price trends and gives 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.
ARQT could be on the verge of another rally after moving 13.5% higher over the last four weeks. Plus, the company is currently a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) stock.
The bullish case only gets stronger once investors take into account ARQT's positive earnings estimate revisions. There have been 3 revisions higher for the current fiscal year compared to none lower, and the consensus estimate has moved up as well.
Investors may want to watch ARQT for more gains in the near future given the company's key technical level and positive earnings estimate revisions.
