Bath & Body Works Pulls Back After Strong Earnings
Bath & Body Works rallied after strong quarterly results and now it’s pulled back.
The first pattern on today’s chart is the high-volume bullish gap on May 18 after earnings, revenue and guidance surprised to the upside. The retailer pulled back a week after the event, followed by a sharp rally. It peaked around $43 before revisiting $39.
The current location represents a 50 percent retracement of the bigger move, which could lure dip buyers.
Second, BBWI's price area is near the May 23 high and slightly above the 200-day simple moving average (SMA). Will support form in this zone?
Next, yesterday featured a bullish hammer candlestick pattern.
Finally, the pullback is near the rising 21-day exponential moving average (EMA). MACD is also trending higher. Both of those may suggest that direction is headed upward.
