Procter & Gamble Could Be Struggling
Procter & Gamble (PG) fell sharply two months ago. Now, after a rebound, it could be struggling.
The first pattern on today’s chart is the big drop on May 18 after Target’s (TGT) weak quarterly report hammered retailers. PG rebounded toward $149 before making a new 52-week low under $130. It then retraced most – but not all – of the drop. The result was a slightly lower high below the late-May pivot.
Next, the stock hit resistance at its falling 50-day simple moving average (SMA). Notice the candlesticks with high tails July 6-13, showing an inability to close above the SMA. It’s also back below its 21-day exponential moving average (EMA), another sign of a downtrend.
Third, stochastics are dropping from an overbought status.
