Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF) Recently Broke Out Above the 20-Day Moving Average
Should investors be excited or worried when a stock crosses above the 20-day simple moving average?
Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF) reached a significant support level, and could be a good pick for investors from a technical perspective. Recently, ANF broke through the 20-day moving average, which suggests a short-term bullish trend.
The 20-day simple moving average is a popular investing tool. Traders like this SMA because it offers a look back at a stock's price over a shorter period and helps smooth out price fluctuations. The 20-day can also show more trend reversal signals than longer-term moving averages.
The 20-day moving average can show signals that are similar to other SMAs as well. 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.

ANF could be on the verge of another rally after moving 16.2% higher over the last four weeks. Plus, the company is currently a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) stock.
The bullish case only gets stronger once investors take into account ANF's positive earnings estimate revisions. There have been 1 revisions higher for the current fiscal year compared to none lower, and the consensus estimate has moved up as well.
Investors may want to watch ANF for more gains in the near future given the company's key technical level and positive earnings estimate revisions.
