Upcoming Earnings

Salesforce, Inc. (ticker: CRM) is scheduled to report earnings after the market closes on 28 August. The consensus earnings per share (EPS) estimate for the fiscal quarter ending July 2024 is $1.73. The reported EPS for the same quarter a year prior was $1.63.

Vulnerable Resistance?

Resistance is currently being tested at US$263.42 but shows signs of giving way.

While a head-and-shoulders top pattern was recently completed at the underside of the aforementioned resistance (this is more visible on the H1 chart), which could see short-term shorts enter the market and aim at the pattern’s profit objective of around US$253.63, sellers have been unwilling to demonstrate much commitment at resistance in recent trading.

Ichimoku Support

You can see price action closed above the Ichimoku Indicator’s Conversion Line (blue at US$260.27) as well as the Base Line (red at US$260.19), and the Ichimoku Cloud is seen nearby. This comprises the Leading Span B (light orange at US$251.40) and the Leading Span A (light green at US$260.33). As a result, the stock has sufficient support to withstand selling. Should a breakout to the upside occur, this could trigger breakout buy-stops and power a move towards the next layer of resistance coming in at US$279.28.

Price Direction

Although sellers may enter the market from current resistance, the nearby Ichimoku support and the lack of bearishness could eventually stir up a bullish move to target fresh resistance at US$279.28.
