Nucor Triggers MACD Death Cross, KDJ Death Cross on 15-Minute Chart.

Nucor's 15-minute chart has recently exhibited two notable technical indicators: the MACD Death Cross and KDJ Death Cross, both of which occurred on August 21, 2025 at 09:45. These indicators suggest that the stock price has the potential to continue declining, as the momentum of the stock price has shifted towards the downside and may further decrease.

On August 21, 2025, at 09:45, Nucor's 15-minute chart exhibited two significant technical indicators: the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) Death Cross and Keltner's Directional Indicator (KDJ) Death Cross. These indicators suggest a potential continuation of the stock's decline, as the momentum has shifted towards the downside [1].

The MACD Death Cross occurs when the MACD line crosses below the signal line, signaling a bearish trend. Similarly, the KDJ Death Cross, when the KDJ line crosses below the zero line, indicates a bearish sentiment. These patterns are commonly used by traders to identify potential trend reversals and momentum shifts in the stock market [1].

Nucor's recent performance has been mixed, with strong fundamentals but mixed technical signals. While the company's fundamentals, such as revenue and asset turnover, remain robust, profitability metrics are under pressure, as indicated by a negative Net Income-to-Revenue ratio and a low Profit-to-Market Value ratio [2]. Despite these mixed signals, the stock has shown a 6.15% short-term price gain, driven primarily by retail and small investors [2].

On August 20, 2025, REX KENNETH QUERY, Executive Vice President at Nucor, sold 10,000 shares, totaling $1,449,019, as per a Form 4 filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission [3]. This insider sale adds to the technical indicators' bearish sentiment, although insider transactions should be part of a broader analysis in making investment decisions.

Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway has taken a new position in Nucor, holding over 5 million shares valued at $1.6 billion. Buffett's focus on homebuilders and consumer staples suggests confidence in housing and the non-cyclical nature of the staples sector [4]. However, the recent technical indicators and insider selling suggest a cautious approach for investors.

Investors should closely monitor Nucor's stock price and technical indicators to make informed decisions. The company's strong fundamentals and exposure to AI-driven demand in the data center sector could provide support for the stock in the long term. However, the recent technical indicators and insider selling suggest a potential downward trend in the short term.
