Homebuilders like Lennar have been climbing as the broader market struggles. Could traders look for more gains as the Federal Reserve prepares interest-rate cuts?

The first pattern on today’s chart is the rally to new highs in July, followed by a limited pullback and upside continuation in August. Such price action may reflect accumulation by longer-term investors.

Second, last week’s low occurred on Wednesday. That contrasts with the broader market, which closed near its lows on Friday. LEN’s level was also near a weekly high on August 7. Has old resistance become new support?

Third, the price zone was near a 50 percent retracement of the rally from August’s trough. That may further suggest that bulls are in charge.

Next, the stock is holding its 21-day exponential moving average (EMA). Our 2 MA Ratio custom script in the lower study also shows how the 8-day EMA is above the 21-EMA, a potential sign of bullishness in the near term.
