JPMorgan Chase has snoozed since its big November-February rally. But now it may be getting ready to move again.
The first pattern on the chart is the downward trendline running along the highs of March 18 and April 12. It’s breaking that resistance today.
Next are the series of candlesticks last week. Notice how prices tried to close at the low but each day snapped back to close at the high. This suggests buyers outnumber sellers. The fact it happened at the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) is potentially bullish.
Third, price action has been very dull for the last month. Just look at how Bollinger Band Width is holding the bottom of its longer-term range around 5 percent. That kind of consolidation above the December 2019 peaks could be turning into a high basing pattern with price acceptance in new record territory.
Finally, intermarket trends may favor JPM. Bond yields have consolidated as the economy recovers. Both situations favor banks and financials. Key ETFs tracking the sector like KBE and XLF are also trending higher. Once we get past Big Tech earnings, focus could return to value stocks like the banks.
