Read MoreHide Full Article

After reaching an important support level, Dick's Sporting Goods (DKS - Free Report) could be a good stock pick from a technical perspective. DKS surpassed resistance at the 20-day moving average, suggesting 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.

Like other SMAs, if a stock's price is moving above the 20-day, the trend is considered positive. When the price falls below the moving average, it can signal a downward trend.

Moving Average Chart for DKS

Over the past four weeks, DKS has gained 8.4%. The company is currently ranked a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), another strong indication the stock could move even higher.

Given this move in earnings estimate revisions and the positive technical factor, investors may want to keep their eye on DKS for more gains in the near future.
