Adobe May Have Space to the Downside

Adobe has been struggling all year, and some traders may think the software stock has space to the downside.

The first pattern on today’s chart is the series of lower highs since September 13. ADBE dipped below its subsequent low this week, potentially breaking a bearish descending triangle.

Next, the triangle followed a sharp gap lower after guidance disappointed.

Third, the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) is nearing a potential “death cross” below the 200-day SMA. That may suggest its long-term trend is getting more negative.

Finally, MACD has turned downward, and prices have remained below the falling 8-day exponential moving average. Those points may signal bearishness in the shorter term.
