First Mid Bancshares: Bollinger Bands Narrowing and KDJ Death Cross on 15min Chart

First Mid Bancshares' 15-minute chart has triggered a Bollinger Bands Narrowing indicator, accompanied by a KDJ Death Cross on August 18, 2025, at 15:30. This suggests a decrease in the magnitude of stock price fluctuations and a shift in momentum towards the downside, which may lead to further declines.

First Mid Bancshares' (FMBH) 15-minute chart has shown significant technical indicators that suggest a potential downward trend. On August 18, 2025, at 15:30, the chart triggered a Bollinger Bands Narrowing pattern, accompanied by a KDJ Death Cross. This combination of indicators points to a decrease in the magnitude of stock price fluctuations and a shift in momentum towards the downside, potentially leading to further declines in the stock's value [1].

The Bollinger Bands Narrowing indicates a period of low volatility, where the price is consolidating within a tight range. This could suggest that the stock is preparing for a significant move, either up or down. However, the KDJ Death Cross, where the K line crosses below the D line on the KDJ indicator, signals a bearish trend [2]. This combination of indicators points to a potential downtrend.

It is essential to note that this development comes after First Mid Bancshares reported quarterly earnings of $87.5 million, which exceeded analyst estimates of $86.1 million. Despite the positive earnings report, the technical indicators suggest a potential downturn. Investors should remain vigilant and conduct thorough due diligence before making investment decisions. The market's current sentiment, as indicated by these technical indicators, may not reflect the true value of the stock. Further analysis is necessary to assess its long-term prospects [3].

Since February 2025, BancFirst has been in a holding pattern, posting a small loss of 0.7% while floating around $121.68. The stock also fell short of the S&P 500’s 5.3% gain during that period [2]. BancFirst operates as a "super community bank" with a decentralized management approach that emphasizes local responsiveness, providing commercial banking services to retail customers and small to medium-sized businesses primarily in Oklahoma and Texas [2]. The company has shown strong long-term revenue growth and EPS growth, but projected net interest income growth is expected to be slim [2].
