Wells Fargo began 2022 with a surge to new multiyear highs. Now after a pullback, the bank is showing signs of continuation to the upside.
First, notice the consolidation between $42 and $52 in the second half of 2021. It made WFC’s January 4 jump above that range a potentially significant breakout.
Second, consider the hammer candlesticks on January 24 and 25. Other financials slid below their 50-day simple moving average (SMAs) those same sessions. Buyers defended WFC above that line, showing its relative strength within the sector.
Speaking of the relative strength in the sector, WFC’s 70 percent gain in the last 12 months ranks highest among members of the
XLF
.
Next, last week’s bounce occurred above the November high. Old resistance became new support.
Finally, WFC has more recently held its 21-day exponential moving average (EMA). Its 8-day EMA also remained above the 21-day EMA during all of January’s broader market pullback.
