Home Depot Could Be StaggeringHome Depot fell sharply last month as the Federal Reserve gave hawkish signals, and some traders may expect further downside.
The first pattern on today’s chart is the November 19 low of $399.36. HD knifed below that level on December 18 and has stayed there since. Making a lower high under its previous trough may suggest the stock’s uptrend has ended.
Next is the price zone around the lows of late October and early November. The home-improvement chain has also remained below its 8-day exponential moving average (EMA). This contrasts with early November, when it closed above the 8-day EMA once and then broke through it. Is it consolidating before continuing lower?
Finally, MACD has been falling. It made a lower high in early December when prices made a higher high. That kind of bearish divergence may signal a reversal
