On August 5, we featured Carvana (CVNA), which at the time took the top StockCharts Technical Rank (SCTR)<\/a> spot for the Large Cap Top 10. The stock has pulled back since then, but is now gaining traction. Perhaps the Fed\u2019s decision to cut interest rates by half a percentage point added some fuel to the stock. With lower interest rates, people may be more inclined to get auto loans.<\/span><\/p>\n

On Thursday, CVNA secured a third-place position in the Large Cap Top 10 SCTR scores. <\/span>Let\u2019s consider where CVNA is now and whether it\u2019s worth adding positions to your portfolio.<\/p>\n

Carvana Stock Analysis<\/h2>\n

We\u2019ll start with an analysis of CVNA\u2019s weekly chart<\/a> (see below).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Is it worth buying Carvana now? Let\u2019s analyze Carvana stock\u2019s daily price action (see below).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

FIGURE 3. DAILY CHART OF CARVANA. A break above the top trendline is a positive move for the stock. If volume increases, buying pressure remains strong, and price momentum supports an up move, Carvana could move much higher.<\/span>Chart source: StockCharts.com. For educational purposes.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

After its August\u2013September pullback, a new trendline had to be created to account for the September low. CVNA stock is still in an uptrend, displaying a series of higher highs and higher lows. The stock price has broken through the upper channel line. You must ensure that momentum is strong to support a follow-through in price.<\/p>\n

The weekly chart shows that CVNA\u2019s stock price could move up to the next Fibonacci retracement, the 50% level. The Chaikin Money Flow (CMF)<\/a> indicates that buying pressure is still strong, and the <\/span>Moving Average Convergence\/Divergence (MACD)<\/a> oscillator shows that momentum is increasing. Both indicators support an upward move in CVNA\u2019s stock price. Volume has increased in the last few days, but it needs to remain above average while Carvana\u2019s stock price rises.<\/span><\/p>\n

When Should You Buy Carvana Stock?<\/h2>\n

The break above the upper channel would be an ideal entry point for a long position. The stock can potentially move to $189, the first Fibonacci retracement level on the weekly chart. If the stock market is bullish and momentum remains strong enough to push the stock price higher, CVNA could move even higher.<\/p>\n

When Should You Exit Carvana Stock?<\/h2>\n

If Carvana breaks below the upper trendline and falls back into the channel with slowing momentum, exit the trade. You may have another opportunity to enter the trade at a later time. If Carvana\u2019s stock price continues to rise, place a trailing stop and be prepared to exit at least some of your positions if the stop gets violated.<\/p>\n
