Despite last week’s sharp drop in the market, one group tried to break out: Hotel stocks like Marriott.
The main pattern on today’s chart is the high-volume rally and breakout April 13-20. The move followed comments by airlines like
DAL
,
DAL
and
UAL
about strong post-pandemic demand for travel.
Second, notice how prices bounced a the 200-day simple moving average (SMA) in December and March. The stock then found buyers at the 100-day SMA in mid-April. Holding faster moving averages suggests that the trend is starting to accelerate.
Third, MAR remained near its highs and was mostly immune to the volatility in other corners of the market earlier this year. (See the relative strength in yellow.)
Traders may now watch the price zone between roughly $168 and $173 because it was a consolidation area in late March. The 50-day SMA could also become potential support.
Finally, it’s noteworthy that related companies like Hilton,
WH
and
HST
have similar patterns. That suggests investors are starting to build positions across the industry before the summer vacation season gets underway.
