VISA flashing a short-term sell signal.Visa Inc. (V) has been one of our most accurate recent stock predictions (August 29, see chart below), as it is about to complete the buy signal we gave on the Channel's bottom to a +27.36% rise and hit our $320.00 Target: Needless to say, if you took that call, evaluate your options as the profit is already enormous. Moving forward, specifically zooming in on the 1D time-frame, we can see that Visa is flashing its first sell signal in a while. The price isn't only almost at the top of the 2-year Channel Up but more importantly, the 1D MACD has completed a Cup sequence on a Bearish Cross, similar to all early corrections at the start of this Channel. As you can see all MACD Bearish Crosses were followed by pull-backs of similar size with the minimum being -7.30%. As a result, we can expect the stock to hit and even break below the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) at $295.00 (-7.30% decline), which would be also near the 0.382 Fibonacci retracement level (similar to the December 22 2022 Low). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!

Visa (V): Pullback Incoming After New All-Time HighsVisa ( NYSE:V ) has reached our anticipated wave 3 target, a significant milestone for this stock that has consistently delivered strong performance. Recently, regulators in the EU have begun probing Visa and MasterCard’s fees, assessing their impact on businesses. While this could pose some risks, Visa’s overall trajectory remains promising. The stock has been setting new all-time highs consistently, but with the potential completion of wave ((v)) and wave 3, we are now looking for a pullback. This correction could offer a great opportunity to open new long positions. Our target range for the pullback is between $280 and $260, though the exact level remains uncertain. Before this, there could still be further upside, with a potential minor retracement between $311 and $325 that would support a bearish short-term outlook. We are monitoring this closely and have alerts set to act when the time is right. Visa remains a long-term performer, but patience will be key to capitalizing on its next move.

Technical Analysis on Visa (V)Visa's stock ( V ) shows a clear long-term uptrend. Following a decline in 2022, it regained its 2021 highs in early 2024, breaking through resistance and continuing its upward trend. The stock reached new highs around the $290 area, then retraced, forming a bullish flag pattern, down to a support area near $250. Currently, it is testing the highs again in the $290 area, reached via a gap up after positive earnings and revenue announcements. If it confirms a breakout above resistance, with a potential retest, the stock could continue its bullish trend.

VISA: 2 year Channel Up seeks the next bullish wave.Visa is on a neutral 1D technical outlook (RSI = 53.426, MACD = 2.190, ADX = 43.132) and just above neutrality levels on 1W (RSI = 56.042) as despite being supported by the 1W MA50, it has been rejected twice on the R1 level. That would have been concerning on any other occasion but this time it's not as we consider this similar to the November 2022 R1 pullback, which after being contained by the 1W MA50, it reversed to the 1.382 Fibonacci extension. The 1W RSI trading above its MA for 2 months now, is also similar to October-November 2022. Consequently, we turn bullish again, aiming for the 1.382 Fib (TP = 305.00).

The Payment Card Titan: Comparing Visa, Mastercard, and Amex◉ Abstract The global credit card market is projected to grow from USD 559.18 billion in 2023 to USD 1,146.62 billion by 2033, driven by advancements in digital payment technologies, e-commerce growth, increased financial literacy, and urbanization, especially in Asia-Pacific. Visa leads the market with a 38.73% share, followed by Mastercard and American Express. Visa and Mastercard operate primarily as payment networks, while American Express both issues cards and offers unique rewards. Financially, all three companies show strong revenue growth, with American Express yielding the highest ROI but also carrying significant debt. Despite this debt, American Express appears undervalued based on financial ratios. Overall, while American Express presents an attractive investment opportunity, Visa and Mastercard also demonstrate solid fundamentals and growth potential for investors in the expanding credit card market. Read the full analysis here . . . ◉ Introduction The Global Credit Card Market Size was Valued at USD 559.18 Billion in 2023 and the Worldwide Credit Card Market Size is Expected to Reach USD 1146.62 Billion by 2033, ◉ Key Growth Drivers ● Digitalization and Technology: Advancements in payment technologies, including mobile wallets and contactless payments, enhance convenience and security. ● E-Commerce Growth: The rise of online shopping increases demand for credit card payments, as consumers prefer their ease and safety. ● Financial Literacy: Improved understanding of financial products encourages more consumers, especially in developing regions, to adopt credit cards. ● Urbanization: Growing urban populations, particularly in Asia-Pacific, lead to greater access to banking services and credit facilities. ● Emerging Markets: Rising disposable incomes in developing countries drive new credit card accounts as financial institutions expand their offerings. ● Consumer Convenience: The preference for quick and easy payment methods boosts credit card usage over cash transactions. ● Rewards Programs: Attractive loyalty programs incentivize consumers to use credit cards for everyday purchases. ● Regulatory Support: Government initiatives promoting cashless transactions foster a favourable environment for credit card adoption. ◉ Market Overview As of 2022, the global credit card market was primarily led by Visa, which held a 38.73% share of the worldwide payment volume. Mastercard followed with a 24% market share, while American Express (Amex) accounted for 4.61%. Notably, China UnionPay is also a major player in this space, surpassing Amex in terms of purchase volume ◉ Key Players in the Payment Card Industry 1.

Visa ● Debt to Equity Ratio: Approximately 0.52 as of June 2024, indicating a stable financial structure with moderate leverage. ● Total Debt: About $20.6 billion. ● Total Shareholder Equity: $39.7 billion. ● Analysis: Visa's ratio reflects a cautious debt approach, balancing equity and debt financing, with net debt well-supported by operating cash flow, enhancing financial stability. 2. Mastercard ● Debt to Equity Ratio: Approximately 2.10, indicating a higher reliance on debt compared to Visa 5. ● Total Debt: $15.6 billion. ● Total Shareholder Equity: $7.5 billion. ● Analysis: Mastercard’s higher ratio suggests it is more aggressive in leveraging debt for growth initiatives compared to Visa. This strategy may lead to greater volatility in earnings due to interest obligations. 3. American Express ● Debt to Equity Ratio: Approximately 1.80, indicating a significant level of debt relative to equity 5. ● Total Debt: $53.2 billion. ● Total Shareholder Equity: $29.54 billion. ● Analysis: American Express’s ratio shows a strong reliance on debt financing, which can enhance growth but also introduces risks related to interest payments and market conditions. ◉ Top Shareholders 1. Visa ● The Vanguard Group has notably boosted its investment in Visa, now commanding a remarkable 7.52% share, reflecting a 0.62% increase since the close of the March quarter. ● In contrast, Blackrock maintains a stake of approximately 6.7% in the firm. 2. Mastercard ● When it comes to Mastercard, Vanguard has also made strides, raising its ownership to an impressive 8.27%, which is a 1.02% uptick since the end of March. ● Blackrock, on the other hand, has a substantial 7.56% stake, showing a 1.17% growth from the same period. 3. American Express ● As for American Express, Warren Buffet’s Berkshire Hathaway boasts a significant 21.3% stake in the company. ● Meanwhile, Vanguard holds a 6.36% interest, while Blackrock has a 5.89% share. ◉ Conclusion After a thorough analysis of both technical and financial indicators, we find that American Express offers a compelling valuation opportunity that is likely to attract investors. Nonetheless, it is important to recognize the significant debt load the company carries, a concern that also extends to Mastercard. ● From a technical standpoint, the chart for American Express seems to be stretched thin. Investors might want to hold off for a corrective dip to secure a more advantageous entry point. ● Mastercard's financial results reflect solid performance, though it carries a high level of debt. The technical chart indicates a slight overvaluation. Savvy investors might look to build their positions during times of price stabilization. ● Visa presents a well-rounded synergy between its technical and fundamental metrics. Its chart reveals a remarkable rebound, approaching previous all-time highs after a notable decline. The company's valuation and growth potential make it a compelling investment choice.

Visa Unveils the Visa Tokenized Asset (VTAP) Platform A Bridge Between Fiat and Blockchain Visa (NYSE: NYSE:V ), the global leader in digital payments, has announced a major step forward in the digital asset space with the launch of its Visa Tokenized Asset Platform (VTAP). Designed to bridge traditional fiat currencies with blockchain technology, VTAP aims to empower financial institutions by enabling them to issue and manage fiat-backed tokens on blockchain networks. As Visa continues its 60-year history of pushing the boundaries of digital payments, this new innovation is poised to set a new standard in how fiat currencies interact with the blockchain. Revolutionizing Payments Through Tokenization Visa’s new VTAP platform provides banks and financial institutions the tools to mint, burn, and transfer fiat-backed tokens in a secure and seamless environment. By integrating fiat currencies on blockchain networks, Visa is helping to expand the use cases of digital assets while also leveraging its expertise in tokenization and smart contracts. Banks can now use VTAP to automate processes, like issuing complex lines of credit and digitizing traditional workflows using blockchain technology. Visa’s extensive global network, which spans over 15,000 financial institutions across 200 countries, gives the company a unique advantage in rolling out this blockchain-based solution on a massive scale. Vanessa Colella, Visa's Global Head of Innovation and Digital Partnerships, noted that Visa’s foray into tokenization will allow banks to “integrate blockchain technologies into their operations.” This development opens the door for widespread adoption of tokenized real-world assets, such as tokenized deposits and stablecoins, which can streamline existing financial processes and facilitate real-time payments. Moreover, the VTAP platform emphasizes interoperability across both permissioned and public blockchains. With a single API connection, banks can interact with partners and clients across multiple blockchain ecosystems. This feature ensures that Visa’s tokenized asset ecosystem remains versatile and future-proof, allowing it to interact with various digital assets securely. BBVA, a major financial institution, has already been experimenting with VTAP's sandbox functionalities, aiming to launch a live pilot in 2025. Their collaboration with Visa signifies the growing interest in tokenized solutions, as financial institutions look to blockchain to digitize their operations. Technical Outlook Despite the groundbreaking announcement, Visa’s stock ( NYSE:V ) has seen a slight dip of 0.29%, trading at lower levels. However, this short-term downturn may not overshadow the long-term potential. The stock is currently trading with a Relative Strength Index (RSI) of 48.21, suggesting that it sits at a pivotal level. The RSI being close to 50 indicates indecision in the market—neither overbought nor oversold. Visa is in the process of recovering from a short-term falling trend, which began earlier this year. However, external factors have tempered this recovery, keeping momentum at bay. From a technical standpoint, Visa’s stock remains above key moving averages, which is a positive signal that investors should keep in mind. A sustained position above these averages indicates that the stock is holding firm in the broader uptrend despite recent weakness. Visa's chart also suggests the stock is poised for a breakout, with analysts keeping an eye on key resistance levels. If Visa (NYSE: NYSE:V ) manages to overcome its current price barriers, the stock could regain upward momentum as investors digest the significance of the VTAP platform and its implications for Visa’s future growth in the digital asset space. What This Means for Investors For investors, Visa’s introduction of VTAP signals a long-term opportunity in the blockchain and digital asset space. Visa (NYSE: NYSE:V ) is positioning itself as a leader not just in traditional payments, but also in the future of tokenized finance. The company’s focus on interoperability, programmability, and easy integration will likely attract financial institutions looking to innovate. The slight dip in Visa’s stock price may represent an attractive entry point for those who see the potential for long-term growth, especially with the ongoing development of blockchain-based solutions. Investors looking for exposure to both traditional financial markets and blockchain technologies should keep a close eye on Visa (NYSE: NYSE:V ) as it pioneers new paths in tokenization. In conclusion, Visa’s VTAP is a game-changing solution that cements the company’s leadership in the digital payments sector. With a strong foundation of global partnerships and a forward-looking approach to blockchain technology, Visa is set to redefine how fiat and digital assets interact, offering an exciting opportunity for both financial institutions and investors alike.

Visa Faces Debit Card Antitrust LawsuitThe U.S. Department of Justice has filed a lawsuit against Visa, accusing it of monopolizing the debit card market and violating antitrust laws. Visa, which processes more than 60% of debit transactions in the U.S., has been singled out for entering into agreements that eliminate competition and charging high fees to merchants, generating approximately $7 billion annually in fees. The lawsuit seeks to curb pricing structures that hinder competition and prevent Visa from paying potential competitors not to launch products that challenge its dominance. In response, Visa has denied the allegations, arguing that competition in the debit market is thriving and that it will vigorously contest the claims.This case is part of the US government's efforts to control rising consumer prices, especially with regard to the fees that merchants pass on to their customers. Following the announcement of the lawsuit, Visa shares fell by 5.5%. Financially, Visa has shown solvency in its recent results. Despite a negative first quarter with declines in EBIT (-2.91%) and EBITDA (-2.76%), the company recovered ground in the second quarter, showing growth in total revenue (+2.91%) and EBITDA (+3.04%). In its most recent report, Visa announced a 13% increase in earnings, reaching almost $10 billion, with revenue of $11.3 billion, up 8% from the previous half-year. In the first quarter, Ryan McInerney, CEO of Visa, mentioned that overall payment volume had grown 8% in the U.S. and 16% internationally. In addition, Visa had set aside $424 million to settle a class action lawsuit related to anti-competitive practices, which affected its results in the first quarter. These allegations have resurfaced as we discussed and we will have to see how the lawsuit evolves between now and the end of the year. Yesterday's earnings report marked a new milestone for us by increasing earnings per share (EPS) by 12% following its commitment to AI growth. Net revenues of $8.9 billion, global growth of 7%, and payment volume up 5% in the US and 10% internationally. Visa Direct transactions soared 41 per cent to $2.6 billion, and new flow revenue grew 18 per cent year-on-year. Its strategic partnership renewals and expansions and value-added service enhancements, as well as investment in AI and its improved payments ecosystem and fraud reduction and sales momentum show the expectation of low double-digit revenue EPS growth and consistent payment volumes for the final quarter of the year, with a slight decline in cross-border transactions. Visa intends to take advantage of the $20 trillion global consumer payments opportunity by focusing its expansion on the pursuit of acceptance, e-commerce and innovation. On the negative side, as mentioned above, the rejection of the class action settlement by the injunctive relief class action forces Visa to seek an alternative resolution. There is also a perceived reduction in credit growth compared to debit, although this is not considered by Visa to be indicative of economic stress on the consumer. However, Visa is keeping a watchful eye on trends. On a technical level Visa has moved in a sideways channel and with a positive Balance Sheet already yesterday started to form what could be a bullish pullback figure, this could take the company out of the current highs if the firm manages to successfully resolve its antitrust lawsuit.
