Cleveland-Cliffs (CLF) Crossed Above the 20-Day Moving Average: What That Means for Investors

Cleveland-Cliffs (CLF) reached a significant support level, and could be a good pick for investors from a technical perspective. Recently, CLF 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.

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.

With a winning combination of earnings estimate revisions and hitting a key technical level, investors should keep their eye on CLF for more gains in the near future.
