RCL - crusing up the channel?CAPITALCOM:RCL has been on a steady upwards move on the daily since October of last year, keeping within a pretty narrow channel. No huge deviations up or down, just easing up. During the market turmoil recently, we saw a fake break of channel to the downside, which was quickly corrected back into the safety of the channel. Price is also respecting the 50 EMA, with some recent deviations due to the recent market reactions. MACD is turning up as a result and is on its way to green territory. RSI has crossed the signal line, these are the two indicators I most often follow. On the fundamentals the company slightly beat expectations on its latest release. JP Morgan said recently that cruises are now 20% cheaper than land-based alternatives (vs. 10-15% cheaper in 2019), and they predict a shift in favor of cruising. And, they just this week labeled CAPITALCOM:RCL "best in class" among cruise lines. In terms of analyst ratings (I usually focus on technicals), according to Stockanalysis.com 16 of 18 analysts has a Buy or Strong Buy recommendation on the stock (Strong Buy: 10, Buy: 6, Hold: 2). Expect CAPITALCOM:RCL to move up towards the channel roof, setting target 1 around $173 as this is ATH. Seeing as there is no resistance above this, if it breaks it might move even higher.
