At askSlim.com we use technical analysis to evaluate price charts of stocks, futures, and ETF’s. We use a combination of cycle, trend and momentum chart studies, on multiple timeframes, to present a “sum of the evidence” directional outlook in time and price.
askSlim Technical Briefing:
The weekly cycle analysis suggests that WMT is in a neutral-to-positive intermediate-term pattern. Weekly momentum is negative.
On the upside, there is an intermediate-term Fibonacci extension zone from 119.70 – 123.20. On the downside, there an intermediate-term Fibonacci support at 109.24 followed by cycle low support at 104.37.
Our analysis suggests that for the bears to regain control of the intermediate-term, we would likely need to see a weekly close below cycle low support at 104.37.
askSlim Sum of the Evidence:
WMT has a neutral-to-positive weekly cycle pattern with negative momentum. Under these conditions, we would expect the stock to trade in a range in the near-term.
There is a likelihood the stock tests the intermediate-term Fibonacci extension zone beginning at 119.70 by April.
