Cisco Wavers After a Feeble Rally
Cisco Systems jumped on a strong quarterly report last month. However there’s been little follow-through, which could make some traders feel bearish.
The first pattern on today’s chart is the bullish price gap on February 16 after earnings, revenue and guidance beat expectations. Unfortunately for the bulls, CSCO’s high occurred just 19 minutes after the opening bell. Was that as good as it gets?
Second, prices have been trapped inside the big weekly candle created by the surge. A break of that tight consolidation could give way to sharper movement.
Next, MACD shows momentum sputtering over the last month.
Fourth, CSCO has tried to remain above its 21-day exponential moving average (EMA) but is now at risk of slipping below it.
Finally, traders looking to the downside may eye the February low of $46.43 as a key level. It would also be the bottom of a price channel potentially forming along the recent highs and lows.
