Fiserv Fights a Trendline
Fiserv has squeezed into a tight range, and now some traders may think a breakout has begun.
The first pattern on today’s chart is the falling trendline since the end of March. Notice how the provider of banking IT services has crossed above that line.
Second, FI has repeatedly bounced at $146 since late February. That could suggest support has been established above its previous all-time highs.
Third, FI tried to rally on April 23 after raising guidance. However MACD was falling at the time and that negative momentum dragged on prices. This time, however, the oscillator is rising.
Next, Bollinger Bandwidth recently tightened to its narrowest reading since January 2020. Will that volatility compression give way to expansion?
Finally, the 50- and 100-day simple moving averages are on top of each other. That highlights the period of consolidation and may reflect a longer-term uptrend.
The 8-day exponential moving average (EMA) also crossed above the 21-day EMA. That may reflect a shorter-term uptrend.
