Costco Faces a Potential Make-or-Break MomentCostco has been a steady performer for years, but now the warehouse retailer may be showing signs of exhaustion. The first pattern on today’s chart is the falling trendline that began last April and the rising trendline from last May. The convergence of the two has produced a triangle, with prices currently nearing the end of the formation. Does this show buyers steadily losing interest? Second, the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) slipped below the 200-day SMA in October and has remained there since. It’s different from the rest of the market, suggesting that the longer-term trend may have weakened. Third, notice how prices tried to move above the 200-day SMA and failed after COST reported lower same-store sales on April 6. The shares have also struggled at the 50-day SMA. Finally, relative strength versus the S&P 500 has been mostly negative since the broader market started climbing in October. This may indicate COST -- with its relatively high valuation -- is losing favor as investors shift to new stocks.

Buying Costco at a discount. COSTTriangle/Three drives within an upgoing zigzag. We more often now base stop loss off a moving ATR, as testing had shown this to be a more effective strategy than mere price levels alone. Yet, ATR is not always an option. We are not in the business of getting every prediction right, no one ever does and that is not the aim of the game. The Fibonacci targets are highlighted in green with invalidation in red. Confirmation level, where relevant, is a pink dotted, finite line. Fibonacci goals, it is prudent to suggest, are nothing more than mere fractally evident and therefore statistically likely levels that the market will go to. Having said that, the market will always do what it wants and always has a mind of its own. Therefore, none of this is financial advice, so do your own research and rely only on your own analysis. Trading is a true one man sport. Good luck out there and stay safe.

$COST Opportunity after earningsSince the ATH last April NASDAQ:COST has been beaten up after earnings. It has dropped 5-10% from the close prior to earnings to hit a post earnings low within 3-4 weeks before recovering to resistance at the descending trendline. The green upward trendline aligns to the bottom of the overall trend for the past few years. Consolidation patterns like these typically end with a larger move up/down. The longer-term outcome will likely be dependent on how the market feels about the consumer staples and discretionary sectors. In the short-term, this chart highlights an opportunity to build/accumulate toward a position within the near term trend, assuming that this behavior continues until there is an overall change in sentiment. Adding ~$462, targeting $488-500 for resistance, and a stop at $442, and reaccumulation $390-400.

Costco price trading in a technical formation Shares in Costco Wholesale Corporation (symbol ‘COST’) have gone through a very turbulent year with the share price ranging from high $610 to low $405. The company’s earnings report for the fiscal quarter ending February 2023 is set to be released on Thursday 2nd of March, after market close. The consensus EPS for Q1 is $3,21 compared to Q1 2022’s $2,92. ‘Costco generated just 2% of its revenue from membership fees, however, those $4.2 billion in membership fees accounted for most of its $7.8 billion in operating profits. This clever “formula” of generating revenue with a very high profit margin has helped the company get through a hard year.’ said Antreas Themistokleous, an analyst at Exness. On the technical side the price has been trading in a descending triangle formation for the last 6 months. Currently the price is facing resistance at a point on the chart where is the crossing of the 20 day simple moving average line with the 50% of the daily Fibonacci retracement level. Given that there will be no big surprise percentage on the EPS at the date of the release the price most probably will continue to trade within the boundaries of the triangle formation in the short term. In the case of upward movement ( supported also by the oversold levels on the Stochastic oscillator) we might see some resistance around the $520 price area which consists of the upper band of the Bollinger bands and the 61.8% of the Fibonacci, whereas in the case of a downward continuation the first point of support would probably be found around the $490 area which is made up of the 50 & 100 moving averages, the lower band of Bollinger bands and is also just below the 38.2% of the Fibonacci.
