YPF Sociedad Anonima (YPF) reached a significant support level, and could be a good pick for investors from a technical perspective. Recently, YPF broke through the 20-day moving average, which suggests a short-term bullish trend.

The 20-day simple moving average is a popular trading tool. It provides a look back at a stock's price over a 20-day period, and is beneficial to short-term traders since it smooths out price fluctuations and provides more trend reversal signals than longer-term moving averages.

Like other SMAs, if a stock's price is moving above the 20-day, the trend is considered positive. When the price falls below the moving average, it can signal a downward trend.

Shares of YPF have been moving higher over the past four weeks, up 14.1%. Plus, the company is currently a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) stock, suggesting that YPF could be poised for a continued surge.

Once investors consider YPF's positive earnings estimate revisions, the bullish case only solidifies. No earnings estimate has been lowered in the past two months, compared to 3 raised estimates, for the current fiscal year, and the consensus estimate has increased as well.

Investors may want to watch YPF for more gains in the near future given the company's key technical level and positive earnings estimate revisions.
