Has Block Bottomed?
Block ran dramatically during the pandemic. Now, following a long rest, some traders may see upside potential.
The first pattern on today’s chart is the series of lower highs between March and August. SQ has pushed above this resistance in the last month, which could suggest its downtrend is broken.
Second you have the low in June, a lower low in August and a higher low in September. That kind of basing pattern may also be consistent with bottoming.
Third, Jack Dorsey’s fintech is pushing above its 200-day simple moving average. However, it remains well below its 52-week low. Is there space to the upside?
Finally, we turn to a longer-term chart with two-week candles. Earnings in the trailing four quarters (TTM) are plotted in the lower study. Notice how the most recent numbers exceed the previous high in June 2021. Also consider that SQ is down about two-thirds from its price at the time. That could make some investors make a potential value argument.
