Lyft Bounces From Support Level

All of Lyft’s profits gained in 2021 were lost before the end of the year. Despite the bullish ride from October to March 2021, the bears overpowered bulls as the share price slumped to $34 from the March 2021 high at $68. The lowest price for Lyft was at $15 which occurred in March 2020 during the global pandemic. The only time Lyft traded above the IPO price was April 1, 2019, the same day it was listed on the stock exchange. Lyft’s IPO price was $72 valuing the company at $20.5 billion.

Lyft investors post IPO have never had a reason to smile to the bank since most part of the time it has been listed on the stock exchange, it fails to trade above the IPO price. The next rally could push the price to a new resistance in the year 2022 at $55 as the price is currently trading at $41.20. The recent bounce is a result of LYFT’s Q4 earnings reports, as price rallies. The revenue rose to $969.9 million from $569.9 million from the previous quarter. Analysts estimated revenue of $940.07 million. RSI on the daily chart already shows the price has been oversold in December, as the price is currently in the upper region of the Bollinger bands.

Meta Share Slumps, The Worst Day Fall For Any Stock

The Facebook parent company, Meta Platform Inc plunged 26% last week Thursday after the release of poor earnings results. About $251.3 billion in market value was wiped out, making it the biggest daily loss for any U.S. company ever. As a result of this fall, Mark Zuckerberg lost over $30 billion. This massive fall of Meta made other tech stocks fall, the likes of Twitter, Snap, and Pinterest.

In the year 2021, the opening price of Meta was $274.79 and closed at $332.46. The appreciation in price put smiles on the faces of investors. Now, the reverse is the case this year. The opening price of the Meta stock was $338.26 but now the price is at $237.01, which is a 30% loss from the year’s opening price. Long-term investors have nothing to fear about the most recent dip in the price of Meta. In the coming weeks, the price could rally to $381, which will eventually lead to a new all-time high. There was a gap down when the market opened last week Thursday as a result of the earnings report. On Friday, Meta’s loss increased because of the continued bearish turn, but at the end of the trading day, there was a rally that formed a Doji. RSI using the daily time frame shows that price has been oversold, which could lead to a possible reversal.

S&P500 Bounces After The January Dump

A huge selloff has occurred in the price of $SPX since the beginning of this year after the market opened on the first trading day of the year at $4784.65. On the second trading day which was on the 4th of January, the price reached a new all-time high at $4817.87. The bearish confirmation was on the year’s third trading day after $SPX lost over 80 points in a day. The month of January was bearish for $SPX after its loss of over 260points, which was almost a 6% loss from the year’s opening price of $4776.61. Just like the American market, the European and the Chinese markets had a poor January as the market was majorly bearish. In January, $SPX had the worst month since March 2020. Our analysts forecasted the price drop of $SPX in one of our articles in January 2022.

The sell-off in January was due to the Fed signaling its readiness to tighten monetary policy, including raising interest rates multiple times this year to tame inflation that has shot up to the highest level in almost 40years. The $SPX has been a bull market over the decades. The sell-off in January was a normal correction expected in a bull market. The correction of $SPX made the price hit the lowest price in January at $4221.07. A bounce from the dip occurred in the last week of January as a Doji was formed, which could lead to the beginning of price recovery. The bulls are beginning to gather momentum as the price closed at $4505.15, about 7% price appreciation from the January low. As the bulls begin to become more active, the price could reach $4805.68 in the coming weeks. Price has currently crossed to the upper region of the Bollinger bands on the 4hr chart.

In the 12 months of 2021, $SPX had a new all-time high in each of them. $SPX has continued with a new all-time high in January before the dump. Will a new all-time be reached in February?

Microsoft Appreciates After Earnings Report

Microsoft reported earnings beat analyst expectations. The earnings per share came in above what analysts had forecast, rising 22.2% year over year. Revenue also surpassed analyst estimates, up 20.1% compared to the same quarter one year ago. Microsoft’s opening price at the beginning of 2022 was $335.87. The price has since fallen to $296.71, making it the worst monthly fall ever. That is an 11% decline since the beginning of the year.

Furthermore , the company’s shares fell as much as 5% in post-market trading on Wednesday. Over the past year, Microsoft’s shares have made a return of 26.7%. The share price of $MSFT reached an all-time high at $349.69 in November 2021. Before the global market tanked a few days ago, the price had been ranging since that all-time was reached. The price of $MSFT reached $276.02 on the 24th of this month before a price correction. The last time price of Microsoft was at the $276.02 level per share was back in July.

The 15mins time frame is showing that an inverted head and should pattern is about to form, which, in the long run, leads to a massive bullish run. In the next few days, the price should fall to complete the head and shoulder. If this is completed, the price could reach $339.98. The market opened yesterday after a gap-up but closed on a bearish note. The global market has been very bad this week. The next rally might just be what investors have been waiting for since the holidays are over. The RSI daily chart already shows that the price has been oversold. This could be the indication the bulls are expecting.

Western Union Investors Are Having A Relief

The Western Union Company is a leader in cross-border, cross-currency money movement and payments. The share price of Western Union nosedived from April 2021 at $26.55 to reach a new low at $15.67 since October 2014. Just like many other stocks, $WU share price fell from a price level at $28.44 to $17.44 during the lockdown in 2020. The ease of lockdown from 2020 to the year 2021 made the price rally reach $26.64, a few points from the 2020 resistance level at $28.44. All Western Union profits made in 2021 were lost as a result of the price dip to $15.67.

A bounce from the support level at $15.67 started at the end of 2021. The $WU market closed yesterday at $18.77, which is a 17% rally. Whether price continues to rally or continue the fall is a major concern for the $WU investors. Since the price rallied above $15.67 in the year 2013, which is now the support level, the price is yet to close below it. Towards the end of last year, Western Union announced Devin B. McGranahan as the new Chief Executive Officer after Hikmet Ersek announces retirement at the end of 2021. The new CEO was able to appoint the new Board of Directors. Investors are hopeful that the appointment of the new CEO will bring about growth in the company’s share price.

The Weekly Chart shows price is oversold on the RSI but still maintains the lower region of the Bollinger bands. $WU has a loss of 19% from 2021’s opening price. Nevertheless, the share price of $WU has been ranging since the beginning of this year. The price might drop to $16.16 if issues around sanctions continue among the world powers, as payments may be delayed and the cost of international payments might be increased. Later in the year, the price could appreciate to $25.16.

Robinhood Trades Below IPO price

Robinhood opened at an IPO price of $38 and was valued at $32 billion on the 29th of July, 2021. $HOOD only rallied for a few days after its IPO to reach an all-time high on the 4th of August 2021 at $85.10. The first 5 trading days were the best days for $HOOD investors. Price closed yesterday at $15.17, making it the worst close since its launch on NASDAQ in July 2021. $HOOD has lost 56% in value from the IPO since it currently trades lower than the IPO price of $15.17. This is a huge disaster for Robinhood investors. The current market cap of $HOOD is $12.67 billion. Since its launch in the stock exchange at IPO price to date, $HOOD has lost $25.33 billion. Robinhood has only been trading in the exchange for just 7months.

Before its IPO, the company had seen massive growth despite the pandemic. Many first-time investors who were given stimulus checks invested in the stock market using Robinhood. As at that time, Robinhood had more than 18 million accounts and 17.7 million active monthly users. Robinhood had 22.5 million active users in 2021. On the daily chart, RSI has shown that the price has been oversold since November 2021. There have been many complaints from Robinhood customers over the inability to place a sell order or to a close position despite losses. We are hoping $HOOD doesn’t get to the point of being delisted from the NASDAQ.

Virgin Galactic’s Price Falls To IPO, Loses Big

Virgin Galactic is an American spaceflight company founded by the Billionaire, Richard Branson with its headquarter in California, USA and operates from New Mexico. The company is developing commercial spacecraft and aims to provide suborbital spaceflights to space tourists. It had its IPO in the NYSE in September 2017 with the price at $10.15. The price was stable till October 2019, when the price fell a bit to $6.98. This price correction led to a huge rally in price to the all-time high before the global lockdown at $42,64. During the lockdown, the price fell to $9.18 which was about an 80% loss in value, the price recovery moved the price to $63.25.

On 11 July 2021, Branson and three other employees rode on a flight as passengers, making them the first to travel on his own ship into outer space (according to the NASA definition of outer space beginning at 50 miles above the Earth). Since this event, $SPCE has lost about 50% in value. The share price was expected to rally, but the price continued to fall since the first flight.

Regular paid passenger service flights have been scheduled to begin this year 2022 after two more test flights have been completed. The share price has fallen from the all-time high at $62.50 to $10.14, which is approximately an 84% loss. The current price is at $10.14 which is very close to the pandemic lowest price was at $9.05. The share price might rally as $SPCE prepares passengers flights this year. The rally might reach $43.49, which is about 3X of the current price at $10.14. On the weekly chart, price is still at the lower region of the Bollinger bands and RSI gives no indication of the price being oversold. On the other hand, the Daily chart has multiple indications that the price has been oversold.

Coca-Cola Reaches An All-Time High

Since Coca-Cola acquired BodyArmour, the share price has continued to appreciate in value, which was spot on according to our analysts. Coca-Cola is one of the very few companies that has existed for 100years and the share price keeps rallying. According to Coke, Fresca is surging in popularity recently, as the fastest-growing soda trademark in the beverage giant’s U.S. portfolio. Coca-Cola has seen a reason to team up to create ae alcoholic Fresca cocktails. The previous all-time high of $KO was at $60.15 which was February 2020.

Since the previous all-time high was reached at $60.15, the price of Coca-Cola fell by almost 50%, which was a result of the global lockdown. Since the ease of the lockdown, the appreciation has occurred gradually till it surpassed the $60.15. A new all-time was reached on the 5th of January, 2022 at $61.15. On November 4, 2021, our article on the acquisition of Body Armour shows that price could rally, price has eventually rallied. Will Coca-Cola, a non-alcoholic company teaming up with an alcoholic company like Fresca should be a reason for a price drop in the value of Coca-Cola?

This might be a reason our analysts are forecasting the price to drop to $53.90, which is about a 10% dip in price. Or could be it a result of Coca-Cola CEO James Quincey in October 2020 getting rid of beloved beverages. This means he was killing off half the company’s portfolio. Since the beginning of this year, the all-time high has been reached, the price has been ranging, which shows consolidation. On the daily chart, RSI still shows price has been overbought as the price maintains the upper region of the Bollinger bands. Though the bulls took over from the bears in December 2021, there are indications the bears are gathering momentum.

Microsoft Bounces From The Year’s Support

After the all-time high of Microsoft was reached on the 22nd of November, 2021, the price has continued to drop from the highest close on the 28th of December 2021 at $343.00. From the trendline drawn from the all-time high in 2021, the price is yet to break it to the upside. Microsoft investors have little or nothing to worry about, as the price has appreciated in the last two decades.

Just recently, Microsoft hired a top Apple Engineer, Mike Filippo, to work on custom chips as it looks to expand its own server-chips efforts, according to people with knowledge of the matter. Filippo’s exit is a huge loss to Apple after he has served as a top designer of semiconductors at ARM for a decade. Microsoft’s 2022 opening price was $335.24. The $MSFT bulls have failed to show up since the holidays were over. Price keeps falling as low as $304.78 on the 10th of January, 2022, making it the year’s support level. A gap-up occurred yesterday from $315.06 to $319.57. This might lead to price recovery as our analysts look forward to the price of Microsoft reaching $341.48.

There is no indication of price reaching a new all-time high as we look forward to receiving the earning report of Microsoft on the 25th of January 2022. On the daily chart, RSI shows the price is overbought while on the 1hr chart price is currently oversold. The hire of Filippo might boost the share price of Microsoft in the coming weeks. The trendline 01 on the chart shows that price is on a bull trend despite the bad start in 2022. RSI though shows price is overbought on the chart.

Is the New Covid variant, IHU, a threat to WTI Oil price?

On the 18th of November 2021, our market analysts forecasted that WTI Oil prices will rise to hit $80 per barrel after the price fell temporarily in November. This forecast was dead-on! 2021 opened at $48.29 and the year closed at $75.12 which is approximately a 56% appreciation. It is probable that the continued rise of the Oil price is linked to the low impact of the previous variant, Omicron. Since the start of the new year, the oil price has continued its bullish movement and so far from the first week of trading, it has appreciated by 6% from $75.12 which was the year’s opening price.

As nations record increasing cases of the new Covid-19 variant, IHU, the oil market is bracing for a price dip even though OPEC signals confidence in the oil price. Some news outlets report that due to the new variant, there is uncertainty surrounding the demand for oil in the next couple of weeks. Since the ease of lockdown of 2021, the price of crude oil has maintained the support level at $61.63. According to our analysis, we forecast an oil price dip to $67.50 even though there are no indications yet. On the 4hr chart, the oil price is in the higher region of the Bollinger bands. Despite the price of crude oil is showing that it was overbought in December, the price is yet to reverse.
