PG.... Sad Story but meeting support?
I don't follow this stock and it was a friend of mine who pointed it out to me. There is a massive amount of pain in this stock chart. First off, you had a bad, bad break of the 200 day moving average all the way back on January 23rd. If you were watching the charts, this should have been a pretty good signal that something was up with the stock. You also had above average volume coming in confirming that this move was most likely meaningful. The second warning shot was the death cross that happened on February 8th.
Today's bloodbath on top of the recent months of selling has taken this puppy all the way back to the levels it was at in January 2016. Ouch
If you take this all the way back to 2009 and draw a best fit line, today's prices stopped to meet this trendline support. I would have to hope that the pain is in the past for PG and maybe this is a capitulation "wash out." If it breaks this line.... then "adios amigo." How far it goes, how long it lasts.... nobody knows.
Break below $80 support brings more pain aheadP&G is showing weak relative strength in a weak sector (Consumer Staples) and just broke below a key $80 support level. This is likely to bring more pain ahead for this stock as it pulls back spending on weaker revenue growth. Use options to limit your risk such as Put Vertical debit spreads.

PG Daily bullish bat patternWhen the market start to fluctuate and I am still bullish on the market,
often times I'll turn to consumer goods sector to look for trading opportunities.
When the market remains good, they may go with the trend; when the market encounters headwind , they hurt less.
I'll look for reversal sign in front of 86.00 and put the out below 85.00 or even lower (as we don't really need to risk that little in such a name though)
Let's see how it goes!
MACD IndicatorIn the graphic above, is shown how the MACD indicator works, there are two lines of different colors, one of them is blue which represents the difference between two exponential moving averages, one of 12 periods and the other of 26 periods; while the orange line, also known as the signal line, represents the 9-period exponential moving average of PG prices -0.15%.
This indicator sends orders to buy and sell the shares acquired to hold a position, either long or short term, depending on the behavior of the moving averages used, at the moment when the blue line crosses the orange line above it, a Short-term operation is executed. in case of the opposite, a long position will be assumed.
For the case shown, having applied the MACD for that period of time, a profit would have been obtained, since only a small loss was taken in the fluctuation of the share price.
Stocks that have raised dividends for at least 25 Years11-18-17 – PG – On the daily PG has been trending upward since September 2015. Recently, it put in a high in sept 2017 and has failed to make a higher high. The stock has also made an equal low at 86ish which it had traded at in Jan, May, and July. The stock bounce of that area at the beginning of Nov. At the Moment, short-term, we need to see what it is going to do. We are in an area where it is best to sit on our hands and not try to guess the direction of the trade. If PG breaks the 86ish area the next target would be 83.50ish and then 81ish. On a Longer-term weekly chart, we are clearly bullish and has actually created a Higher high of 94.67 on 9/18/17 vs 93.89 on 12/22/14. I would like to own this stock at a lower price since it is trading near the highs, so we may want To wait for a pullback if we were trying to time the market a little better. Since Procter & Gamble is among the world's largest consumer products companies We can expect this company & stock, typically, to stay relatively stable in a down economy and stock market. PG has raised its dividend annually for 60 years in a row. Dividend & Yield is 2.76 (3.09%)
PG at SupportI was too early on my first go at PG bouncing off of this strong support level. I should have taken note of the bear strength that drove price downward and anticipated some sort of pull back and retest.
The bear pressure has since rounded out and we've got a nice swing-low, deep in the support area. The swing-low candle itself was a hammer, followed by a decently bullish day, making for a convincing little pattern that price may finally be ready to turn around.
