Okta (OKTA) Just Overtook the 20-Day Moving Average

After reaching an important support level, Okta (OKTA) could be a good stock pick from a technical perspective. OKTA surpassed resistance at the 20-day moving average, suggesting a short-term bullish trend.The 20-day simple moving average is a popular investing tool. Traders like this SMA because it offers a look back at a stock's price over a shorter period and helps smooth out price fluctuations. The 20-day can also show more trend reversal signals than longer-term moving averages.Similar to other SMAs, if a stock's price moves above the 20-day, the trend is considered positive, while price falling below the moving average can signal a downward trend.Over the past four weeks, OKTA has gained 8.8%. The company is currently ranked a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), another strong indication the stock could move even higher.The bullish case only gets stronger once investors take into account OKTA's positive earnings estimate revisions. There have been 13 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 OKTA for more gains in the near future.Zacks Naming Top 10 Stocks for 2025Want to be tipped off early to our 10 top picks for the entirety of 2025?History suggests their performance could be sensational.From 2012 (when our Director of Research Sheraz Mian assumed responsibility for the portfolio) through November, 2024, the Zacks Top 10 Stocks gained +2,112.6%, more than QUADRUPLING the S&P 500’s +475.6%.
