Banking turmoil took its toll on Bank of America’s share Bank of America Corporation (symbol ‘BAC’) share price was trading in a slightly upward trend because the bank failures hit mainstream media and drove the share price of BAC down. The company is expected to report its earnings for the fiscal quarter ending March 2023 on Tuesday 18th of April before market open. The consensus EPS for the quarter is $0,80 compared to the result for the same quarter last year of $0,80.
‘Bank of America could not be unaffected by the banking turmoil in early March that resulted in pushing its share price down by more than 25%. ’ said Antreas Themistokleous at Exness. ‘ As of 31/12/2022 the current ratio of the bank was at 78% meaning that they do not have the ability to repay their short term liabilities with the current assets currently in possession and this might be seen as a red flag by potential investors and traders.’
From the technical analysis perspective the price moves in a sideways momentum in the last couple of weeks after the consecutive bank failures with investor confidence still not regained even after measures from central banks. Currently the price is facing resistance on the 20 day moving average while the Stochastic oscillator is in the overbought level. The Bollinger bands are contracting showing dried up volatility in the market while the HKEX:29 price area is a strong resistance since it is made up of the 23.6% of the daily Fibonacci retracement level and also the area where the price failed to break above it since mid March.
