After Friday’s analysis of Intesa Sanpaolo, we continue our journey through the banking sector. In today’s piece, I have a beautiful setup on a more well-known bank – JP Morgan.
First, look at the chart on JP Morgan. We have a beautiful head and shoulders pattern. The formation started in February however its fate is being decided as we speak, while the price is currently testing the neckline (blue) after drawing the right shoulder.
What will happen with the neckline will decide the future direction of JPM. We’re still waiting for the open bell in the US but yesterday’s session ended with a small victory for buyers. The price managed to defend the neckline with the false bearish breakout pattern (red). Usually, this kind of formation is a great buy signal.
If we combine that with a generally positive sentiment on stocks (another case of buying the dip!) we get a very bullish mixture here. Current sentiment on JPM seems positive and will stay this way as long as the price stays above the neckline.
Trading FX/CFDs on margin bears a high level of risk, and may not be suitable for all investors. Before deciding to trade FX/CFDs you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. You can sustain significant loss.
