  • Kidney Dialysis Firm, Davita, Loses 2022 Gains

    Kidney Dialysis Firm, Davita, Loses 2022 Gains

    Davita is a US healthcare service provider with a focus on kidney dialysis services. Davita has over 2800 outpatient dialysis centers in the United States which serves over 200,000 patients. They also have 321 outpatient dialysis centers in 10 other countries serving 3200 patients.

    Monthly Chart

    Davita was founded in 1979 and it got listed on the New York Stock Exchange in 1995 at $3.50 IPO price. Price rallied for a few years after the IPO but in the year 2000, price fell to $0.72 per share which is Davita’s worst share price ever since it launched on the NYSE. Since then, Davita’s share price has rallied to an all-time high at $136.62 in August 2021. This is over 100X of the lowest ever price. 

    When price reached an all-time high, RSI also showed that price had been overbought on the monthly time frame. Price fell shortly afterwards to $94.34 in November 2021. The opening price of Davita at the start of the year 2022 was $114.10. Price rallied to the current year’s high at $124.85. However, the bears are back in action as Davita’s share price closed below $100 at the end of May.

    Daily Chart

    As price consolidates in the next few weeks, we might be seeing a price rally above $100. Our analysts are seeing the price of Davita rise to $120 in the coming months. The recent news of Davita’s partnership with Medtronic to form a new kidney tech company worth about $200million could also trigger a rally from a fundamental analysis standpoint. We’ll see!

  • Is Halliburton’s Share Price Heading For A Fall?

    Just like many stock prices in Q1 2020, the share price of Halliburton fell from $24.32 at the beginning of the year to $4.33 in the same quarter which was about an 83% loss in its value. This could have been due to the global lockdown from the Covid-19 pandemic.

    Monthly Chart

    In hindsight, the all-time high of Halliburton was reached in July 2014 at $74.21. Ever since the price hit that peak on the monthly chart, it has been unable to break that price to the upside. Each time the bulls trigger a rally, the bears respond aggressively and the price is pushed lower. Since the all-time high in 2014, the lowest price Halliburton has hit was the aforementioned $4.33 in Q1 2020.

    4hr Chart

    Halliburton recovered fairly quickly from the Covid hit and began a bull run at the beginning of April 2020. This rally lasted for two years hitting a high of $42.54 in April 2022. In other words, from the lockdown low to this current high, Halliburton has experienced at least 9X in return. The last time Halliburton’s share price hit the current high of $42.54 was in October 2018.

    After the high of $42.54 in April 2022, the price fell to reach $33.30 in May 2022. A bounce occurred afterward as the price was able to rally to $42.12 which was on May 31, 2022. There are indications that the bears might push the price lower to $34.

  • Bears To Stay Dominant In NZDUSD Tussle

    Looking at the monthly time frame over the last two decades, NZD has continuously gained against the USD. The highest price within this time span was at 0.88396 which occurred in September 2011. After this time, NZDUSD consolidated for another 3 years after which it began to dip leading to the US Dollar gaining against the New Zealand Dollar.

    Monthly Chart

    The first major drop in price brought NZDUSD to 0.61967 in July 2015. There was a bounce in Q4 2015 that initiated a bullish run that lasted till Q3 2017. This upward trend took the price to 0.75525 in July 2017 which was the highest price for that year. After this high, the New Zealand Dollar began to lose against the US Dollar. On the downward trend, price went as low as 0.54704 which occurred during the lockdown, in March 2020 precisely.

    There was a jump in price in April 2020 and a bullish run ensued for the next 12 months, shooting price to 0.74678 in April 2021 – a gain of about 2000 pips. This price will be the highest in the year 2021. The bears kicked in again, forming an inverse head and shoulder on the monthly time frame.

    4hr Chart

    Since May 2022, NZD has been rallying against the USD and as a result, the price reached 0.65610 which stands as May’s resistance level. The USD in the coming days or weeks might gain against NZD as price might fall below 0.64271 which is about a 100 pips gain in favor of the US Dollar.

  • Coca-Cola Share Price Jumps

    After the full takeover of BodyArmor by Coca-Cola in November 2021, the share price of Coca-Cola had a brief bullish run that took the share price from $56.29 in November 2021 to $67.11 in April 2022, which now stands as the current all-time high for Coca-Cola. 

    Daily Chart

    In the month of May 2022, Coca-Cola’s share price dipped from the all-time high down to $62.66. Price rallied shortly afterward and the price reached $66.39. The bears counteracted the rally as the price was pushed down to $59.66. $59.66 is the current support level. In the week of May 23rd, the price rallied and the bulls were able to get the price to $64.68 which was the closing price for the week.

    Weekly Chart

    This recent bull run might not be maintained as the bears might overpower the bulls and push price lower to reach $60. If the price eventually breaks $60 to the downside, the price might continue to fall further.

  • FTSE 100 Index consolidates above 7000

    FTSE 100 Index consolidates above 7000

    The FTSE 100 Index is a share index of 100 companies listed on the London Stock Exchange. The total market cap as of April 2022 was £1.996trillion. It was launched on the Stock Exchange in 1984 by the FTSE group at an IPO price of 1650. Over the last three decades, long-term investors in FTSE 100 have seen its price reach an all-time high of 7900 which occurred in May 2018.

    Weekly Chart

    Enter COVID-19. FTSE 100 had been ranging pre-Covid after the all-time high in 2018. In March 2020, the price fell as low as 4800 which could have been a result of the slump in stocks across the world during that time. Following the lockdown ease, price rallied back above 7500 which was close to the all-time high of 7900 in 2018. 

    Monthly Chart

    Since the beginning of 2022, the highest opening price on the monthly chart is 7523 which was in February 2022. The worst close also was in February 2022 at 7388. RSI gave no indication that price has been overbought both on the weekly and monthly charts. Price is currently in the upper region of the Bollinger Bands on the longer timeframes.

  • EURUSD Rebounds

    EURUSD Rebounds

    Since December 2020, EURUSD has been on a bearish trend. Each time the pair tries to gather momentum in the upward direction, the bears counteract the movement and the price heads back downwards. Since Q4 2020, $EURUSD has lost over 1900 pips. 

    Weekly Chart

    Since the beginning of 2022, the strength of the bulls have been minimal as the price has been pushed downwards in favor of the US Dollar. The war between Russia and Ukraine has led to Russia cutting the gas supply to some European countries and this may be a contributing factor to the weakened Euro. More so, the inflation hitting economies worldwide may also be a reason why major currencies can’t seem to rise against the US Dollar.

    Daily Chart

    About four weeks ago, EURUSD fell below 1.0600 for the first time in five years. On the 13th of May, 2022, the price of EURUSD was as low as 1.0350. However, in the last two weeks, the Euro has appreciated against the US Dollar. Price has been able to rally to 1.0680 which is over 300 pips gain in the last week. In the coming weeks, the bears might push price lower again below 1.0470.

The price at the beginning of the bull run in April 2020 was $100 per share after the stock split. (Please note that all prices are quoted since the stock split in August 2020). This continued until the end of the year despite little corrections in between. The $TSLA price soared on this bullish energy to an all-time high of $1,245 in November 2021.

    Daily Chart

    There has been a huge correction since the all-time high in November 2021 as price has been falling. This bearish run saw a little bullish movement which occurred in March 2022 with the price experiencing a temporary rally. The bulls, however, were counteracted by the bears and the price continued its downward trend.  In Q4 2021, our analysts concluded that the share price of Tesla could go below $1000 after reaching a new high at $1092 in October 2021.

    Tesla’s price is currently at $709.81 per share. The worst closing price on the monthly chart since May 2021 was $625. This bearish run might push the price down towards $600 per share.

  • Silver Price Hits New Low

    The price of Silver had a smooth bullish run post-Covid. The support level of Silver in March 2020 was $11 per ounce. Price rallied to reach $29 per ounce in August 2020. After Silver’s price hit $29, it has since been consolidating. That is to say, Silver’s price has been ranging between $21 and $29. This range has spanned from August 2020 till now.

    Weekly Chart

    In March 2021, a rally occurred that pushed the price to $30 per ounce, but the momentum wasn’t sustained and the price reverted back into the range. In March 2022, we published an article where we forecasted that Silver’s price rally (and the rally of other commodities) will not be sustained. On March 7, 2022, Silver’s price was at $25.555 per ounce.

    Monthly Chart

    Just as our analysts forecasted, the rally was only able to push the price to $26 after which it began to fall and at the close of May 10, 2022, it was at $21.172. From a technical standpoint, RSI shows that the price has been oversold on the daily time frame. The bearish run might still continue as Silver’s price could reach $20 per ounce.
