Share Price of Coca-Cola May Fall

The share price of Coca-Cola reached a new high of $47.00 in September since January 2018. This major uptrend started in May 2018 gaining about 600 points. $KO are now in talks over cannabis-infused drinks. The company’s plan for this, is to reduce pain, not intoxicate consumers. This might lead to $KO losing some of its loyal consumers. $KO is known mostly for its soft drinks. Even adding a bit of drugs like cannabis could discourage regular buyers from drinking $KO products. Being a global brand with competitors, $KO will have to monitor its goodwill which has appreciated over the years.

A breakout already occurred from the trendlines, making the price of $KO to depreciate. $KO might lose 400 points in the weeks to come. This could be caused by the release of the cannabis-infused drinks. Price has not been able to move above the resistance level before relinquishing strength. Price has touched the upper band at least twice and never touched the lower band. Price might touch the lower band if a downtrend resumes. RSI indicates an overbought share price of $KO. Price has not been able to move itself to the upper section of the band. Sellers could take over the market of $KO.

Unilever Might Lose Major Shareholders

Unilever has decided to relocate its headquarters to the Netherlands. $UL is a company co-owned by Magaine Unie, a Dutch Company, and Lever Brothers, a British Company. One of the reasons for relocating is to simplify its corporate structure. Amid this deliberation, it is required that 75% of the company’s shareholders agree to this. Unilever is presently listed under FTSE 100 in London with a £124billion in market cap. Any relocation to the Netherlands, then $UL will cease to be listed under the FSTE 100. One of the major shareholders said it is not in support of the relocation; which will encourage long term investors to sell off their shares.

Meanwhile, price action has crossed over to the lower region of the bands. The Ichimoku shows the future movement of price trend to be downward. Price movement using the RSI also shows a continuous downtrend. I hope relocating the headquarter to the Netherlands will not lead to bigger problem for $UL as a company. Due to these indicators, sellers from the FTSE 100 might continue to sell off their $UL shares.

Apple Might Be Losing Its Bull Power

Apple shares reached a new high last month after its share price dropped heavily in 2014. $AAPL has unarguably maintained a bullish trend over the years. In August, $AAPL reached $1 trillion in market value, the first company in the U.S. to achieve that. President Trump recently started a trade war with China, which doesn’t seem to end soon. The trade wars are caused by his new trade tariffs.

For investors who have enjoyed the sweet ride of $AAPL in the past few years, they might book some profits. There will be lesser patronage when tariffs on Apple products from China is increased. Apple shares was down 1.3% on Monday after the news reports. RSI shows $AAPL has been overbought and might drop its value a bit depending on the conclusion on the trade wars. There is also a breakout downward from the two trendlines A and B. As at the time of this writing, the share price of $AAPL was at 219.43. It might continue the downward movement even below 210. The RSI has shown that the price of $AAPL has been overbought for days but a correction has started due to market sentiment around trade wars. Though the Ichimoku shows an upward trend, price might continue the bearish movement because it broke out of the trendlines.

Pepsi Partners with NFL, A Challenge for the Bears

After several consolidations, it might be looking like a breakout upward for PEPSICO. For the last trading day last week, it was bullish and price closed above the line B. This could as a result of the program introduced by $PEP. It is called 360-degree program that brings football to their cities and into their homes like never before. $PEP partnership with the NFL kick starts this season( 2018-2019). While I drink more bottles of Pepsi, I hope to benefit from $PEP as the football season starts.

Though a cross from the middle line of bollinger band crossed over price but it could be a fake downtrend continuity. A trend between A and B has shown the price movement in the last few weeks. After the breakout, price might continue the bullish movement which started last week hoping to reach the new resistance level. $PEP might gain over 150pips in the coming days.
