The banks have been a big part of the summer rally, reminding us of the days of yore (sarcasm) when the banks would lead. That said, they’ve also been a bit lumpy over the past year and a half due to the global slowdown, regulatory uncertainty, and the European crisis.
One bank that has fared well as of late, and risen +35% since July is Goldman Sachs (GS). The chart below highlights the 50 percent Fibonacci level for the 2011 drop, as well as a measured move target. But, let’s face it, much of the action above that level will be dictated by the overall markets ability to charge to new highs. Either way, though, I would expect these levels to act as magnets. Note that the chart below is weekly (so a bit wider lens and time horizon).
Trade safe, trade disciplined.
