Snowflake’s Stock Rises Even as Markets Stay Uncertain
Wed May 20 2026
The cloud‑services firm Snowflake has seen its shares jump today, even though the overall economic picture looks weak. Analysts at Citizens keep a bullish view and set a target price of $325, saying the company still has upside.
Technical charts show some positive signals. The MACD line is above its signal, and the histogram suggests buyers are gaining momentum after a recent dip. However, a key test remains: can the stock stay above its 100‑day moving average? If it falls below, a brief rally could turn into another low.
Resistance levels are near $184. 50 and the 200‑day average, where price often stalls. Support sits around $145, close to a recent bounce above the 20‑day average that showed buyers were still active.
Benzinga’s Edge score rates Snowflake’s momentum as weak, scoring 9. 95 out of 10. This indicates the stock is still recovering rather than firmly moving higher, and it lags behind stronger‑trending peers.
The main lesson is that the market wants more proof that Snowflake can hold these moving averages. A quick rebound isn’t enough; the stock must stay solid even when economic news turns negative.
At the time of writing, Snowflake’s shares were up nearly 4%, trading at $170. 73.
