Camden National (CAC)'s Technical Outlook is Bright After Key Golden Cross

Camden National Corporation (CAC) reached a significant support level, and could be a good pick for investors from a technical perspective. Recently, CAC's 50-day simple moving average broke out above its 200-day moving average; this is known as a "golden cross."A golden cross is a technical chart pattern that can signify a potential bullish breakout. It's formed from a crossover involving a security's short-term moving average breaking above a longer-term moving average, with the most common moving averages being the 50-day and the 200-day, since bigger time periods tend to form stronger breakouts.A successful golden cross event has three stages. It first begins when a stock's price on the decline bottoms out. Then, its shorter moving average crosses above its longer moving average, triggering a positive trend reversal. The third and final phase occurs when the stock maintains its upward momentum.This kind of chart pattern is the opposite of a death cross, which is a technical event that suggests future bearish price movement.CAC could be on the verge of a breakout after moving 21.6% higher over the last four weeks. Plus, the company is currently a #2 (Buy) on the Zacks Rank.The bullish case solidifies once investors consider CAC's positive earnings outlook. For the current quarter, no earnings estimate has been cut compared to 2 revisions higher in the past 60 days. The Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased too.Investors should think about putting CACon their watchlist given the ultra-important technical indicator and positive move in earnings estimates.Zacks' Research Chief Picks Stock Most Likely to "At Least Double"Our experts have revealed their Top 5 recommendations with money-doubling potential – and Director of Research Sheraz Mian believes one is superior to the others.
