Procter & Gamble quietly broke out of a 12-month range in November and December. Now, after a period of consolidation, it may be ready to continue higher.
The first feature on today’s chart is the W double-bottom pattern above $156. That potentially suggests new support has developed above its previous all-time highs.
Second, 50-day simple moving average (SMA) has caught up to the stock following its December surge.
Third, MACD is turning upward again after dropping during the last month of consolidation.
Finally, PG held its ground when markets tumbled in January. It’s also above its 50-day SMA – something that could only be said for about one-third of the S&P 500 on Thursday. That kind of relative strength in times of turmoil may foreshadow steadier gains if overall volatility fades.
