Nucor (NUE) Just Overtook the 20-Day Moving Average

Nucor (NUE) reached a significant support level, and could be a good pick for investors from a technical perspective. Recently, NUE broke through the 20-day moving average, which 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.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.Over the past four weeks, NUE has gained 6.3%.

There have been 6 revisions higher for the current fiscal year compared to none lower, and the consensus estimate has moved up as well.With a winning combination of earnings estimate revisions and hitting a key technical level, investors should keep their eye on NUE for more gains in the near future.7 Best Stocks for the Next 30 DaysJust released: Experts distill 7 elite stocks from the current list of 220 Zacks Rank #1 Strong Buys.
