What the AI sees

PINS is trading at $21.91, sitting above both of its main moving averages. The price is 4.20% above the 50-day average of $21.03 and 4.41% above the 200-day average of $20.98. Because the 50-day average is 0.20% above the 200-day, the two averages are arranged in a way that points to an uptrend. Over the past year, the price is 58.31% above the 52-week low of $13.84 and 38.14% below the high of $35.42.

PINS has a mixed record behind its recent gains. The price is up 17.48% over the past month, yet it is down 5.56% over the past three months and down 32.77% over the past year. The 14-day RSI sits at 59.5, in the neutral zone, and the MACD line is positive.

Risks

No risks flagged.

ProTips
  1. The two levels nearest the price are worth following: the 52-week high at $35.42 sits above it, and the 50-day SMA at $21.03 sits below.
  2. A 14-day RSI of 59.5 is neutral, and the MACD line is positive. Readings above 70 or below 30 would signal stretched momentum.
Market outlook

PINS's uptrend depends on the price holding above its 50-day average at $21.03 and its 200-day average at $20.98. A close below the 50-day would be the first sign that the uptrend is weakening. If the price pulls back, the 50-day SMA at $21.03 is the first level it would reach.

PINS faces the 52-week high at $35.42 as the next level overhead.
