Lam Research (LRCX) Just Overtook the 20-Day Moving Average

Lam Research (LRCX) is looking like an interesting pick from a technical perspective, as the company reached a key level of support. Recently, LRCX crossed above the 20-day moving average, suggesting a short-term bullish trend.The 20-day simple moving average is a well-liked trading tool because it provides a look back at a stock's price over a 20-day period. Additionally, short-term traders find this SMA very beneficial, as it smooths out short-term price trends and shows more trend reversal signals than longer-term moving averages.Like other SMAs, 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.Shares of LRCX have been moving higher over the past four weeks, up 10%. Plus, the company is currently a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) stock, suggesting that LRCX could be poised for a continued surge.The bullish case only gets stronger once investors take into account LRCX's positive earnings estimate revisions. There have been 12 revisions higher for the current fiscal year compared to none lower, and the consensus estimate has moved up as well.Given this move in earnings estimate revisions and the positive technical factor, investors may want to keep their eye on LRCX for more gains in the near future.Zacks' Research Chief Names "Stock Most Likely to Double"Our team of experts has just released the 5 stocks with the greatest probability of gaining +100% or more in the coming months.
