Airbnb Approaching Key Resistance Ahead of Earnings
Upcoming Earnings
Airbnb Inc. (ticker: ABNB) is scheduled to report earnings after the market closes today. The consensus Earnings Per Share (EPS) estimate for the fiscal quarter ending September 2024 is US$2.17. The reported EPS for the same quarter a year prior was US$2.39.
200-Day SMA Ahead
Airbnb has been rallying since putting in a bottom at US$110.38 in August. Both price structure and the Ichimoku indicator suggest that the ABNB stock is trending higher. However, given that price is now within striking distance of testing the underside of the 200-day simple moving average (SMA – currently at US$143.56) and trendline resistance (drawn from the high of US$170.00), buyers will likely adopt a cautious stance at current levels.
Any reaction from the 200-day SMA could force the stock’s share price lower to retest the space between the Ichimoku’s Conversion Line (blue) and Base Line (red) at US$138.06 and US$133.26, respectively. At the same time, a deeper correction may prompt a retest of the Ichimoku Cloud (made up of the Leading Span A [light green] and B [light orange] at US$135.66 and US$127.75, respectively). Assuming a breakout higher, nevertheless, this could have the stock test a trendline support-turned-possible resistance, taken from the low of US$81.91.
Price Direction?
Investors, particularly those with a bullish bias, will be focussed on this stock’s 200-day SMA and the accompanying trendline resistance. A breakout above the aforementioned resistances could pave the way for further buying towards the trendline support-turned-possible resistance. Yet, any rejection of the current resistances may also spur dip-buying from the space between the Ichimoku’s Conversion Line and Base Line.
