CITI trade ideas
C: Pre-earnings run pattern ahead of Monday reportCitigroup has a pre earnings run pattern which tends to be caused by Pro Traders setting up to take advantage of the earnings reaction. The company will report its 1st quarter earnings on Monday. C had a reactionary gap up at open caused by the JPM gap today. It formed an indecision day candle rapidly. The early gap could interfere with the technical patterns for the report release day.
$C CITIGROUP NOT APPEALING YET. ARE BANKS STILL WHERE YOU SEND MONEY TO DIE ? CITY LIKE MANY ARE STRUGGLING TO GET NEAR THOSE HIGHS FROM 2018. MOST RECENTLY THOUGH THE XLF HAS SEEN A INFLUX OF FRESH CASH, MAYBE GIVING US POSITIVE SIGNALS PRE-EARNINGS. WE WAIT ON THE SIDELINES ON CITIGROUP UNTIL RESISTANCE IS BROKE $67 IS A GOOD ALERT FOR ENTRY IN A LONG.
Citi Bank Bullish Breakout?Can we see a breakout in NYSE:C ?
I currently say this because ever since the 14th of January of 2019 it has been consolidating between the resistance line at the $65.23 and the support at $60.81.
For myself the RSI and MACD are the most important indicator to me. As you can see the MACD has crossed just before the 3rd run to the resistance and the RSI is yet to be oversold.
Posting this today the price has came close to the resistance line just by $0.6. I believe that if we see the price break through the resistance than it will breakout and we can see the target price to be around the $69.00 range.
ALSO, there was a big right triangle forming and as of today it has also broken through the right triangle resistance line. So this should be interesting to look at if it can break through 2 resistance lines.
Earnings for C, Citigroup Bank: HFT Gap ExpectedCitigroup reported ahead of open today which indicates it hoped that the market open would inspire buying of its shares of stock. HFTs are set to trigger on earnings news. How it might gap depends on the algorithm focus, retail crowd reactions, retail broker expectations, and the triggers set ahead of open. C has the same negative divergence as AAPL has on the weak “rally run” up after bouncing off of technical support levels best seen on a weekly chart. Today’s chart is a daily chart to show that the run is weak and poised for a potential gap.
