After a parabolic like move early in the year, Starbucks (SBUX) has spent the better part of the past 4 months hanging out above the long term bullish channel… that is until earnings came. The post earnings breakdown has flushed the stock back into the channel and towards the lower support (which happens to be long term support). Bulls would like to see 45-46 hold.
Note the 3 day dip below the wedge platform on the daily chart… this may have been a clue. See charts below.
