Shares are trading 1% lower today as the stock risks breaking critical support at $475.
Since February, shares have been locked in an intermediate-term bear market trend as the stock’s 50-day moving average shifted into a declining pattern. Resistance has been met with every attempt of the stock to break out of this pattern.
More recently, shares have been trying to hold critical support at $475 to avoid shifting from an intermediate-term bear market to its first long-term bear market trend since June of 2023.
A break below $475 will put the stock in a position to move just 4% lower to break its 20-month moving average, placing it in a technical bear market.
Selling pressure will increase from institutions with a break of the stock’s 20-month, targeting further declines to a target of $400.
Lowe’s (LOW) shares are trading 2.4% lower today after the home improvement warehouse announced their quarterly earnings results.
Results for the company’s past operations were better than analysts’ expectations. Earnings per share (EPS) beat expectations by $0.11 while revenue came in slightly higher than its target.
The drop in price is due to the company’s comments, that are all but too familiar for the market.
Lowe’s sales saw pressure from lighter consumer activity on high priced purchases. The situation is part of a much larger trend as you and I pull back on expenses due to the long-term effects of inflation.
Lowe’s stock has been trending in a tight range around $230 for the last month but are now threatening to break below $220.
A move below $220 will put the stock below its 200-day moving average for the first time since January of this year.
The last break below its 200-day moving average resulted in a 13% decline for Lowes stock over a one-month period in October of 2023.
My current price target is $200.
