False Breakdown in Bank of America?Bank of America lost more than 40 percent of its value between February's high and this morning’s low. Is the megabank now showing signs of a bounce?
The first pattern on today’s chart is the early drop to $29.31. That was BAC’s lowest price since December 2020, but it lasted less than 30 minutes. Prices turned green by 10am ET and quickly surpassed the previous session’s high.
The result was a few possible reversal patterns. First is today’s bullish outside candle.
Second, you have a false breakdown to new 52-week lows.
Third is the potential double-bottom at the July lows. That’s especially visible on the weekly chart, which also shows BAC holding support from early 2021.
The next pattern to watch could be the falling trendline along the highs of September 20 and October 4. This, combined with the support level from February 2021 of $29.57, create a narrowing range. Traders may look for a potential breakout, especially with quarterly results due the morning of Monday, October 17:

JPM (double) BottomingWe are forming a double bottom patten at the 61.8 Fib Retracement level just 5 days before earnings.... Sentiment is weak despite significant boost in Net Interest Margin. Inverted Yield Curve and collapse of capital markets and mortgage activity does not bode well for JPM however I believe this reality is already priced in to the stock and we are set up for a nice pop.
JPM is obviously a blue chip company and down almost 70 dollars from the highs. I will be trading this with a tight stop against the long term up trend line and the fib retracement but this could be a great entry for a long term position as well.

Icici Bank - a hidden Indian GemAs India is one of the fastest growing economies this stocks potential is very high, in the last 30 years India's economic growth has only declined in 1 of those years (COVID year) in the last 10, growth has almost doubled. With a rising economy and very strong fundamentals this seems a wise investment to hold long-term. I am looking to enter a position at the gap down around $21.41 as short-term it is in a bull flag that has potential to break out around the $26 mark. FY22 it had a profit margin of 21.58% and Debt to Assets of 9.97% respectively (17.5 Trillion in Assets) and EPS of 37.94 ending FY22 compared to 7.04 ending FY19 a sizable increase to say the least. A very strong stock in a booming Indian economy, could be a safe haven as US market has been very unpredictable IMO.

ANZ.ASX - FUNCHARTS - Countertrend Trading with a Trend FilterNote: Funcharts are interesting charts I have found that offer a potentially unique perspective on a stock. Sometimes I’ll throw something out there that you might find controversial or wrong headed. If that’s the case your 2 cents worth is most welcome.
ANZ, one of the big four banks listed on the Australian Stock Exchange is a pretty tricky stock to trade, conforming more to a six month cycle between dividend and earnings dates. However from a purely technical standpoint, on a medium term basis there are opportunities to trade in line with a longer term trend, and on a short term basis to enter the stock on very short term pull backs.
In this analysis we looked at the Supertrend Strategy using a 50 period length with a 6xATR Factor to capture longer term trends and then looked at buying short term dips and selling short term rallies.
In the longer term timeframe this worked quite well with ANZ making good money based on the Performance Summary but entries and exits are few and far between with this approach. Bringing the time frame back to a swing trading standpoint, the best results came from using the Supertrend STRATEGY in a countertrend way, buying dips and selling rallies using just a 3 period ATR Length with a 1 period factor, giving plenty of trades. Filtering the short term system with the longer term trend also resulted in more frequent winning trades so trading countertrend in the very short term with a longer term trend filter worked nicely.
The catch is when you get a longer term trend change without a resulting rally to exit on the countertrend system, which can at times result in very large losses, like during Covid. It is for this reason a stop loss should be set, even when trading countertrend to prevent large losses on a stock that does often trend. Using the blue trailing stop line is a common sense area to position a stop loss as insurance against a big fall.

$SOFI heavy insider buying from CEOI think Anthony Noto is looking at the weekly chart too.
Seeing a bullish cross on the MACD. RSI is extremely oversold and looks to have bottomed out. And SOFI looks like it's battling with the upper bound of this parallel channel.
Once it fights through it and closes above it, it should easily hit $7.70.
The sweet spot for the majority of people to get out from being underwater is right around the VWAP and what I would consider the next big target, $13.94. (Circled)
