The current bull run is still valid but based on a few technical indicators we may see some more price action to the downside before a continuation. There are several technical catalysts that may converge near or at the reversal target. Previous daily support, median line support, EMA convergence, and RSI hitting oversold (30).
Momentum – While price makes a higher high from Jan to Feb, a bearish divergence occurs as the RSI makes a lower high, indicating a change in momentum foreshadowing the current pullback. As the RSI falls we see it break through the first key support level, tries to correct, and gets rejected by the midline (50) to then continue the downtrend. As RSI breaks the second key level it tries to break back through to the upside and fails. Judging by the EOD price action on Friday we can assume price rejection was successful and will continue to the downside. RSI is approaching oversold which is a prime area for a reversal in momentum.
Trend – During the current bull run, we see the 12EMA converge on the 50EMA twice but never cross, indicating a strong uptrend. Despite the current price action, the uptrend remains intact as the 12EMA is converging on the 50EMA again but has not crossed. The 12EMA still has more room to the downside before finding support near the 50EMA. The current spread between the EMAs is approx. 2.3%, which is the distance from Friday's low to the lower median line.
Chart Pattern – Price is trading in an ascending channel and attempted to test the upper median line, but was rejected initiating the current downtrend. Price is approaching the lower median line where support was confirmed by Sept, Oct, and Nov lows. Price holding the lower median line and breaking back out of the demand zone may be confirmation of a reversal back towards Jan and Feb highs.
Support and Resistance – Price is approaching the upper part of the demand zone set by Dec highs and Jan Lows. If price can hold in or above the demand zone, that is a strong indicator bears are losing steam, and bulls may regain control soon.
What do you think about this target for a potential reversal?
