Warner Bros. May Have Downside Risk
Warner Bros. Discovery spent much of 2023 in a tight range, but now it could be moving again.
The first pattern on today’s chart is the series of higher lows between December and late August. The media company began September by moving under the line, and has shown signs of trending lower since. Some chart watchers may now view that price action as the breakdown of a bearish flag.
Second, a rally failed around $12.14 in mid-September. The level had marked the lows in July and August. Has old resistance become new support?
Next, several moving averages (MAs) were on top of each other when the drop began. That shows how WBD had a neutral trend for several months, which may open the door to a period of directional movement.
Fourth, MACD has been falling.
Fifth, the stock deviated from the S&P 500 by failing to rally after May. (The year’s high occurred in February.) That may reflect a lack of relative strength.
Finally, WBD’s debt load is almost twice its market capitalization. That could create risks if interest rates remain high.
