Today, shares of Conn's (NASDAQ:CONN) have fallen below their 10-day MA of $30.01 on a volume of 250K shares. This may provide short-term investors a chance for a short position, as such a crossover often suggests lower prices in the near term.

In the past 52 weeks, shares of Conn's have traded between a low of $10.01 and a high of $30.84 and are now at $29.77, which is 197% above that low price. The 200-day and 50-day moving averages have moved 0.81% higher and 0.83% higher over the past week, respectively.

Conn's (NASDAQ:CONN) has potential upside of 14.2% based on a current price of $29.77 and analysts' consensus price target of $34.00. The stock should discover initial support at its 50-day moving average (MA) of $27.13 and subsequent support at its 200-day MA of $20.79.
