AT&T Has Been Fighting Higher
AT&T has been fighting higher, and some traders may see an opportunity in the latest pullback.
The first pattern on today’s chart is the falling trendline along the highs of February and April. T broke above it in late May and proceeded to hit a new 52-week high early this month. Notice how prices have retreated and now seem to be stabilizing at the trend line.
Second is the May 20 close of $17.52. The telecom stock probed below that point Thursday, Friday and Monday, but each time closed above it.
Both of those points may suggest that old resistance has become new support.
Next, the 8-day exponential moving average (EMA) remained above the 21-day EMA amid the latest pullback.
Finally, the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) had a “golden cross” above the 200-day SMA in December.
Those points may reflect bullish trends in both the short and longer terms.
