Financials like Citi have bounced sharply since mid-October. But now the move could be showing signs of fatigue.
The first pattern on today’s chart is the series of lower highs since November 11. Combined with the low around $47.40 on November 17, that could form a bearish descending triangle that prices are now threatening to break.
Next, consider the weekly chart. C formed three successively lower highs. Last week also featured the second consecutive bearish inside candle. Those patterns may suggest its longer-term downtrend remains in effect after a period of consolidation.
Finally, the shorter-term trend could be more bearish as MACD and the 8-day exponential moving average (EMA) turn negative. (This chart includes our MA speed custom script with the 8-day EMA.)
