Royal Caribbean Cruises (RCL)
askSlim Technical Briefing:
The weekly cycle analysis suggests that RCL is in a rising phase in an overall bearish cycle pattern. Weekly momentum is now positive. The next projected intermediate-term low is due in October.
On the upside, there is an intermediate-term resistance at 46.64 followed by another zone of resistance from 63.59 – 77.28.
On the downside, there is a rising intermediate-term support zone from 34.12 – 30.61.
For the bulls to regain control of the intermediate-term, we would need to see a weekly close above 90.98 to repair the some of the damage done on the downside.
askSlim Sum of the Evidence:
Royal Caribbean is in rising phase in an overall bearish cycle pattern. The analysis suggests that the upside in the near-term is limited. There is a likelihood that the stock tests the rising intermediate-term supports beginning at 34 by October.
