Bank of America: Potential Breakout

289
Bank of America has been grinding higher as the broader market falls, and some traders may expect an acceleration to the upside.

The first pattern on today’s chart is the series of lower highs since early January. The lender ended yesterday above that falling trendline. It also registered its highest closing price in almost four months. Those signals could suggest prices are trying to break resistance.

Second, the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) is nearing a potential “golden cross” above the 200-day SMA. That may reflect an improved long-term trend.

Next, the 8-day exponential moving average (EMA) is above the 21-day EMA and MACD is rising. Those signals could reflect short-term bullishness.

Finally, BAC is an active underlier in the options market. (Its average daily volume of 191,700 contracts ranks 20th in the S&P 500, according to TradeStation data.) That could help traders take positions with calls and puts.
