<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Looking At Trends: Verastem Oncology</h1>
Equity research analysts on and off Wall Street typically use earnings growth and fundamental research as a form of valuation and forecasting. But many in trading turn to technical analysis as a way to form predictive models for share price trajectory.
Some investors look to trends to help forecast where they believe a stock could trade at a certain point in the future. Looking at Verastem, an investor could make an assessment about a stock's long-term prospects using a moving average and trend line. 
If they believe a stock will remain above the moving average, which many believe is a bullish signal, they can extrapolate that trend into the future using a trend line. For Verastem, the 200-day moving average sits at $4.96, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, which is below the current price of $6.13. For more on charts and trend lines, <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">see a description here.</a>
Traders believe that when a stock is above its moving average, it is a generally bullish signal, and when it crosses below, it is a more negative signal. Investors could use trend lines to make an educated guess about where a stock could trade at a later date if conditions remain stable.
