askSlim Technical Briefing:

dr horton stock dhi bullish earnings report analysis indicators investing news april 28

The weekly cycle analysis suggests that the stock is in a rising phase in an overall bearish pattern. The next projected intermediate-term low is due in August.

On the upside, there is an intermediate-term resistance zone from 44.03 – 48.39. On the downside, there is a support zone from 39.40 – 34.10. For the bulls to regain control of the intermediate-term, we would need to see a weekly close above 54.62

askSlim Sum of the Evidence:

DHI is testing an intermediate-term resistance zone in an overall bearish pattern. We would expect the stock to fail in this zone between 44 – 48 and pullback to 37 by August.
