HSBC Melts Higher as it Absorbs SVB
HSBC pulled back along with other financials in March. It played a role in the crisis by absorbing Silicon Valley Bank’s British operations, and now the global bank could be drifting to new highs.
The first pattern on today’s chart is the rally between November and February. HSBC retraced almost exactly half that move the subsequent month before bouncing.
Next is the series of higher lows since mid-March. Prices peaked around $38.59 a few times during that consolidation, which produced an ascending triangle. That’s a potentially bullish continuation pattern.
Interestingly, HSBC escaped the top of the triangle last week.
The longer-term trend may have grown more bullish after the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) had a “golden cross” above the 200-day SMA earlier in the year.
Now the shorter-term could be following a similar trajectory. Notice how the shares broke above the 50-day SMA in early May. The 8-day exponential moving average (EMA) has also remained steadily above the 21-day EMA.
Finally, MACD is just now turning positive again.
