Each time price of Verizon attempts to reach the resistance level of 61.10, price of $VZ retraces. This happened twice in the past 8 months, majorly in November and March. When the price of $VZ closed the 2018 trading year, price showed a trace of reversal. The price of $VZ closed at 56.28 on the 31st of December 2018, after a bounce occurred from the support level. As price remains in the cloud of the Ichimoku, a breakout downward from the cloud could lead to a continuous downtrend.
$VZ has already shown an overbought position on the RSI chart. The current support level stands at 53.07. The price of $VZ may fall further after price has already crossed to the lower region of the Bollinger band. Ichimoku already shows a future of a downtrend which might increase in the next few weeks. Price is yet to reach the oversold position on the RSI chart. Since the trendlines have been broken to the downside, price may continue to go downwards to reach 51.08 from its current 56.91.
A resistance level of 103.95 was reached on the 25th of April 2019. For the most part of 2019, the Walmart bulls have been in charge of the market . A gap down occurred on the 26th of April, after which a temporary correction occurred. There was a very low volatility in the price movement of $WMT from mid February to the end of March. The share price of Walmart is beginning to drop after a bounce downward occurred at the resistance level.
A breakout from the trendlines occurred to the downside which also complements other indications that the price of $WMT has begun a downtrend. RSI has been able to show an overbought position on the chart. The future of Ichimoku shows the $WMT bulls are still in charge of the market. Also, price maintains the upper part of the Bollinger band, which is yet to cross lower. The bears are gradually taking charge of the market.
Our last analysis on Google shows the share price was going to rise. . Price was able to go beyond the expected resistance level of 1123.23. The bullish movement from last year was able to reach 1288.30 on the 29th of April 2019. At the last trading day of April, a gap down occurred which confirmed the beginning of a downtrend. RSI at two different occasions between March and April had shown overbought positions.
Ichimoku is yet to show a reversal, but shows the $GOOG bulls are still in charge. The gap down which occurred made price of $GOOG on the Bollinger band to cross to the lower region of the chart which is presently in the Ichimoku cloud. The share price of $GOOG is currently at 1168.89. Now that price has crossed to the lower region of the Bollinger bands, this could make price to continue to fall more to 1106.41. $GOOG lost about 100points after the gap down. As we await price to continue the downward trend, it might still lose 150points more.
The Netflix stock price in 2019 has been majorly characterized with a stable market price. This occurred as a result of an uptrend that began at the latter part of December 2018. Initially at the beginning of the year, when the price of $NFLX rose, it reached an overbought region on the RSI. Instead of the price of $NFLX to fall, price continued to go upward at a very slow pace. Since February, price has consistently been ranging on the daily chart between 343.81 and 382.87.
For the most part of 2019, the candlesticks have maintained the higher region of the Bollinger bands. Despite the trendlines being broken to the downside late last year, the price of $NFLX has ceased to fall. The future of Ichimoku does not show an actual direction of the market. Nevertheless, $NFLX might be losing its bull power temporarily. Price of $NFLX could fall below 351 in the coming days from its current 371.83.
Undoubtedly, the year has been very good for the Exxon Mobil share price. Though in 2018, it was a rowdy chart with a majorly ranging market. The year has all been bullish for the $XOM from 71.25 to its current 82.90. The last time RSI showed either overbought or oversold region was in July 2017. The first resistance level has been reached at level 81.88. There might have been several looks of a reversal in price but as it appears, the bullish movement might continue.
We might expect price to reach 88.16 which is the second resistance level. Unlike last year, there is a lower number of ranging markets in the $XOM market with the bulls more active. The Ichimoku’s future has already shown a bullish signal which might be an indication for the bulls to continue trading. If price touches the second resistance level, by this time, the RSI might show an overbought position.
Coca Cola Share Price Remains Bullish A gap down occurred mid February causing the price of Coca Cola to plunge. The plunge did technically complete the M sign. The M sign is a trading pattern which after completion leads to a reversal. Nevertheless, price of $KO has been able to maintain the support level at 44.58. And price, has since the plunge, began an upward movement. This movement is quite slow but the bulls are heavily taking charge of the $KO market.
Ichimoku has refused to show a bullish signal to complement this uptrend. Price of $KO was able to close above the cloud which might indicate a continuation of the uptrend. RSI has been able to show an oversold position in the daily chart. Also, price of $KO has been able to cross to the upper region of the Bollinger bands. This might eventually make $KO share price to move just above 49.00 from its current 47.29.
Jumia IPO’d on Friday, April 12th on the New York Stock Exchange. When news of its IPO first hit the wires, it was hailed as Africa’s first tech IPO. I will admit that I immediately bought into the narrative.
After all, I knew that it was (at one point) run by 2 Nigerian founders, Tunde Kehinde and Raphael Afaedor, and that, of course, it serves entirely African markets. Sounds like an African company to me! And if an African tech startup can exhibit a viable exit for investors, this $JMIA story could only help funnel more interest and capital to the entire African ecosystem. That is why the story really excited me.

But by their own admission, $JMIA is not an African company after all. They are not headquartered in Africa, but in Europe. The company was not founded by Kehinde and Afaedor. Rather, those guys were hired to run Rocket Internet’s new e-commerce business it created and named Jumia. Given this (new to me) information, Jumia is very clearly not an African company. And that is OK! I’m not sure why the current executives feel the need to co-opt a brand identity that is not theirs. (And before you go there, Rocket Internet is also a European company.)
Unfortunately, I believe this narrative actually hurts the African ecosystem more than it helps. Because venture capital is such a pattern seeking (copy cat) business model, non-white, non-male founders have historically had much difficulty securing much needed funding to expand their businesses. My initial thoughts were that an actual exit evidenced by this $JMIA IPO will help convince investors that startups on the continent are viable investments. However, $JMIA merely reinforces the stereotypes that white male executives of a company domiciled in the West are the business models worthy of investment. This couldn’t be further from the truth.
I have been investing in African startups since 2012. And I am currently in stealth mode to expand this work on a larger scale. Stay away from African as an investment ecosystem if you want to. It only leaves more for me and mine. My friend and founder, Teddy Ruge, who of course opened my eyes to the real narrative around $JMIA sums it up best:
So. Focus on what's at hand. Build. Build. Build. Build. Build. Look up long enough to slap the next thief right across the mouth who dares claim what's yours. But build. It's in the building that we win. Otherwise, they want us distracted. Fighting on THIER platforms. Distracted
In December last year, Bank Of America share price was as low as 22.73. As the American market went down towards the end of 2018, $BAC also joined in the dip. After this dip, price rallied to the 26.77 level, which initiated to a strong support. There was a gap up on the 16th of January which made price to reach 29.64. After this gap up, a correction has occurred but the price of $BAC was not able to break the support level at 26.77.
The correction after the gap up made price to cross to the lower region of the Bollinger bands. The trendlines have been broken and indications show a bullish takeover begins. Though we expect the $BAC bulls in the market, Ichimoku has not shown a bullish signal but showed a bearish signal instead. On the daily chart, price of $BAC is overbought. Price being overbought might be deceptive for the bears to get into the market. Currently, price of $BAC has been able to cross to the upper region of the bands. So price of $BAC could reach the next resistance level at 30.77 from its current 28.95.
The share of price of Boeing fell after two Boeing planes crashed in the past few months. In 2019, Boeing has been bullish from 315.80 and reached an all time high this year at 447.12. A gap up that occurred in the last few days of January has been filled in March. The price of $BA has been on the upper region of the Bollinger bands throughout the year until mid-month of March. The volatility of $BA in 2018 was quite low until this year.
Throughout February, the price of $BA was overbought on the RSI. The future of Ichimoku has already shown a trace of downtrend. With the analysis using the trendlines, price of $BA could begin to fall from its current 393.26 to 333.71. The price of $BA has crossed to the lower region of the bands. If price of $BA breaks to the downside to reach the expected support level of 333.71, a breakout of the support level could make the price of $BA to continue to move downward.
Mastercard is currently overbought after reaching an all time high for the stock. The new resistance level is at 235.66. The year 2019 has started on a bullish trend from 185.42 to the resistance level of 235.66. The overbought position for $MA was reached first at the beginning of February 2019. Since this time, price has continued to rally in the overbought region which could lead to a reversal on the daily chart.
Ichimoku is currently showing the bulls are in charge of the $MA market. RSI also shows price has been overbought for over a month. As we expect a bearish trend, price of $MA might go below 200. Price is yet to cross to the lower side of the Bollinger bands. A breakout has occurred from the trendlines but price is still in a range. Before the end of April, the bearish trend might become more dominant.
