Harte-Hanks (HHS) Crossed Above the 20-Day Moving Average: What That Means for Investors

Harte-Hanks (HHS) reached a significant support level, and could be a good pick for investors from a technical perspective. Recently, HHS broke through the 20-day moving average, which 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.

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.
