Starbucks has drifted lower since May, and now traders may see further downside risk.
The first patterns on today's chart are the candlesticks on October 19 and October 25. SBUX tried to get above $95 but failed to close there in two separate weeks. Such price action could reflect selling pressure.
Next, the coffee chain stalled at a low from July 7. Has old support become new resistance?
There’s also potential confluence with the 50-day simple moving average (SMA).
Speaking of the 50-day SMA, it had a “death cross” under the 200-day SMA in July. That could indicate a bearish trend over the longer term.
This chart includes our 2 MA Ratio custom script in the middle study. It shows that the 8-day exponential moving average (EMA) crossed below the 21-day EMA on Friday. That could suggest the short-term trend is turning bearish as well.
The most recent sessions also featured a potential bearish flag breakdown.
Finally, stochastics are dipping from an overbought condition.
Traders could focus on these signals with earnings due on Thursday, November 2.
