Invesco Mortgage Capital (IVR) Crossed Above the 50-Day Moving Average: What That Means for Investors

Invesco Mortgage Capital (IVR) is looking like an interesting pick from a technical perspective, as the company reached a key level of support. Recently, IVR broke out above the 50-day moving average, suggesting a short-term bullish trend.

The 50-day simple moving average is a widely used technical indicator that helps determine support or resistance levels for different types of securities. It's one of three major moving averages, but takes precedent because it's the first sign of an up or down trend.

Shares of IVR have been moving higher over the past four weeks, up 17.2%. Plus, the company is currently a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) stock, suggesting that IVR could be poised for a continued surge.

The bullish case solidifies once investors consider IVR's positive earnings estimate revisions. No estimate has gone lower in the past two months for the current fiscal year, compared to 1 higher, while the consensus estimate has increased too.

With a winning combination of earnings estimate revisions and hitting a key technical level, investors should keep their eye on IVR for more gains in the near future.
