Duolingo stock is surging today
Duolingo Inc (NASDAQ:DUOL) stock is surging today, after news that the mobile learning platform will join the S&P MidCap 400 Index, effective April 22. At last glance, DUOL was up 7.2% at $208.64, earlier as high as $217.79.
The 20-day moving average seems to be keeping today's gains in check, though the stock is above a host of long-term moving averages, including the 120-day trendline. Today's bounce could've already been in the cards, per Duolingo stock's 14-day relative strength index (RSI) of 26, which sits in "oversold" territory. Since last April, the equity is up over 47%.
Though short interest has been unwinding, down 5.7% in the last two weeks, it still represents 5.4% of the stock's available float. It would take shorts three days to cover their bets, at DUOL's average pace of trading.
