Will Goldman Get Going?
Goldman Sachs has gone nowhere for two months, but some traders may look for that to change.
The first pattern on today’s chart is the $374 level. It was a weekly closing price from January 2023 that GS remained below through late December. The stock rallied above it at the end of last year and has remained there since. That could suggest old resistance has become new support.
Next, Bollinger Band Width narrowed during the consolidation period. Will price expansion follow that period of compression?
Third, the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) had a “golden cross” above the 200-day SMA in December. That may suggest its longer-term trend has grown more bullish. (GS also bounced at the 50-day SMA this week.)
Next, the 8-day exponential moving average (EMA) has remained above the 21-day EMA. That may reflect bullishness in the shorter term.
