PepsiCo (PEP) Crossed Above the 20-Day Moving Average: What That Means for Investors

PepsiCo (PEP) reached a significant support level, and could be a good pick for investors from a technical perspective. Recently, PEP broke through the 20-day moving average, which suggests a short-term bullish trend.The 20-day simple moving average is a popular trading tool. It provides a look back at a stock's price over a 20-day period, and is beneficial to short-term traders since it smooths out price fluctuations and provides 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.Shares of PEP have been moving higher over the past four weeks, up 5.8%. Plus, the company is currently a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) stock, suggesting that PEP could be poised for a continued surge.The bullish case only gets stronger once investors take into account PEP's positive earnings estimate revisions. There have been 9 revisions higher for the current fiscal year compared to none lower, and the consensus estimate has moved up as well.With a winning combination of earnings estimate revisions and hitting a key technical level, investors should keep their eye on PEP for more gains in the near future.Quantum Computing Stocks Set To SoarArtificial intelligence has already reshaped the investment landscape, and its convergence with quantum computing could lead to the most significant wealth-building opportunities of our time.Today, you have a chance to position your portfolio at the forefront of this technological revolution.
