$AFRM – longing for a hug?Looking at a simple trend and channel of CAPITALCOM:AFRM , it is quite clear it is in a downtrend. This begun pretty much on the dot of the start of 2024 and has been consistent ever since. Some positive news today, sending price up 4-5%, far from interrupting the trend. What is interesting is how price has hugged the lower line of the channel numerous times all along, and only twice touched the upper line. It has also pretty much been below the 50 EMA since crossing down, with a few false breaks, and is once again approaching the 50 EMA from below now. This could trigger a push down. It is not unlikely price will seek the lower line once again, however, make note that the last touch was April 16. Not going into fundamentals here, but CAPITALCOM:AFRM presents earnings on Aug 22, and has a history of beating expectations. This could trigger a reaction up. On the other hand, CAPITALCOM:AFRM is seeing more competition from big tech companies, which might affect business, but probably not the next earnings release. So, earnings is an event to pay attention to, however there should be room on the downside before we get to mid/late August. Do your own DD and let me know what you think.
