Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) Crossed Above the 20-Day Moving Average: What That Means for Investors

From a technical perspective, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) is looking like an interesting pick, as it just reached a key level of support. HPE recently overtook the 20-day moving average, and this suggests a short-term bullish trend.The 20-day simple moving average is a well-liked trading tool because it provides a look back at a stock's price over a 20-day period. Additionally, short-term traders find this SMA very beneficial, as it smooths out short-term price trends and shows 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.Shares of HPE have been moving higher over the past four weeks, up 12.3%. Plus, the company is currently a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) stock, suggesting that HPE could be poised for a continued surge.The bullish case only gets stronger once investors take into account HPE's positive earnings estimate revisions. There have been 3 revisions higher for the current fiscal year compared to none lower, and the consensus estimate has moved up as well.Given this move in earnings estimate revisions and the positive technical factor, investors may want to keep their eye on HPE for more gains in the near future.7 Best Stocks for the Next 30 DaysJust released: Experts distill 7 elite stocks from the current list of 220 Zacks Rank #1 Strong Buys.
