PBF Energy (PBF) is looking like an interesting pick from a technical perspective, as the company reached a key level of support. Recently, PBF crossed above the 20-day moving average, suggesting 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.
Shares of PBF have been moving higher over the past four weeks, up 6.4%. Plus, the company is currently a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) stock, suggesting that PBF could be poised for a continued surge.
Looking at PBF's earnings estimate revisions, investors will be even more convinced of the bullish uptrend. There have been 5 revisions higher for the current fiscal year compared to none lower, and the consensus estimate has moved up as well.
Investors should think about putting PBF on their watchlist given the ultra-important technical indicator and positive move in earnings estimate revisions.
