Potential Bear Flag in Nike
Nike has been under pressure since late 2023, and now some traders may look for bearish momentum into year-end.
The first pattern on today's chart is the price area around $88.66. The athletic-apparel stock bottomed there in September 2023 and April 2024. It peaked in the same zone last month before dropping. Has old support become new resistance?
Second is the series of higher lows since August. NKE has been pushing against that trend line recently, which may create potential for a bear-flag breakdown. The 50-day simple moving average (SMA) is in roughly the same place.
Next, NKE gapped lower after its last quarterly report on October 1. Since then, it's been unable to fill the resulting space on its chart.
Finally, the stock is slipping back below its falling 100-day SMA. The 8-day exponential moving average (EMA) has also remained below the 21-day EMA. Those signals may reflect bearishness in the long and short terms.
