Tesla Splits Stock For The Second Time In 2 years

Tesla split stock for the second time in 2 years

For the second time in two years, Musk’s Tesla has split its stocks. The stock is to split by 3 for 1 and was to take effect at the close of yesterday’s trading day, 24th of August, 2022. Due to the split, the share price of Tesla closed at $302 per share.

On the 19th of May 2022, we published an article where we made a forecast that Tesla’s share price will fall to $600. As of the time of publishing the article, Tesla’s share price was $709. Immediately after our forecast, Tesla’s share price dropped to $620 after which it began to rally. We are correct to say that our forecast reached its mark only that this 3:1 split has disrupted the price as Tesla is now trading at $300 per share.

According to our analysis, following this stock split, Tesla’s share price might range around $300 psychological level for the next few months. This means that we don’t see Tesla’s share price reaching $400 this year.

Walmart Bulls Set To Recover

The opening price of Walmart at the beginning of 2022 was at $144.03 per share. Price ranged for the most part of January before the bears took control, although this bearish turn was for a short period of time. The first major support level of 2022 was at $132.02 per share which was in February. From that support level, Walmart’s bulls pushed price to a new all-time high in April at $160.77.

After the all-time high was reached, the next trading day opened with a bearish turn as price went as low as $117.16. This price doubles as both the current year’s low and the current support level. Since that year’s low, each time the price tried to rally, the bears counteracted the bullish movement. On the daily chart prior to the fall to the $117.16 support, there were a few gap downs which are yet to retrace.

On the 16th of August, there was a gap up from the close of the 15th. The close of the 15th was at $132.56. The opening price of the 16th was at $138.81, about a 5.1% increase in a single day. This gap up could be a light at the end of the tunnel for Walmart investors as it could lead to a rally to a new all-time high above $160. RSI on the daily chart indicates that price is oversold. The daily chart also shows that the candlestick is in the upper region of the Bollinger Bands.

SPX Continues To Rebound

In the second trading day of January 2022, SPX hit $4800 which is the all-time high. Afterwards, SPX experienced lower lows and lower highs which resulted in a fall in price to the 2022 low of $3635 in mid-June 2022. While SPX fell between January and June, it established a couple of resistance levels with the last resistance level before the year’s low being at $4179 which was in the beginning of June.

Since the 2022 current low of SPX which was reached in June at $3635, the price of SPX has continued to rally. This rally has taken the price above the $4000 psychological level. In the last 5 trading days, the price of SPX has been able to close above $4000 as the current price is at $4152. A breakout from the June resistance level may occur and price could reach $4200 but this is not guaranteed.

The reason why the upside movement of SPX can’t be guaranteed is because the momentum on the bulls is waning. On the flip side, whether price reaches $4200 or not, the bears might eventually take over and push price below the current low and a new low might be formed below $3635 as RSI is currently showing that price is overbought on the 4H timeframe.

Snapchat Loses 39% Of Share Value In 24 hours

Snapchat had its IPO in March 2017 at $24. The first two trading days closed with the bulls in charge. The third trading day had the bears gaining traction and this traction transitioned into a full-blown bearish run up until December 2018. In that month of December 2018, Snapchat share price hit $4.88, which stands as the all-time low.

2019 began on a brighter note in comparison to the previous year as the first seven months of 2019 closed bullish. This bull trend couldn’t complete a year-long run as price ranged between $12 and $18. A few months into 2020, precisely in April, the bulls became active while price was about $11. On the monthly chart, a bullish steam picked up and it raved on until Snapchat’s share price hit $83, which stands as the all-time high. This all-time high was reached in September 2021.

Ever since this all-time high was hit, Snapchat’s share price has been falling heavily. Since September 2021 till date, all monthly candlesticks have closed bearish except for February 2022. So far, Snapchat has lost over 87% of its all-time high. Since May 24 2022, the price of Snapchat has been ranging between $11 and $15.

On the 22nd of July, 2022, a gap down occurred that resulted in a 39% loss in value as price fell from $16 to $9.97. The last time price got to this level was in March 2020 during the lockdown. In the next few weeks, we could see price rallying above $20 as price is currently oversold on the RSI.

ETSY Loses More Than 8% In One Day

Since the all-time high of Etsy was reached in November 2021 at $309.06, price has continued to dwindle as it has lost over 75% of its all-time high. The price of Etsy at the beginning of 2022 was at $222. Etsy has not recorded any profits this year as price has kept falling from the opening price of the year.

Etsy’s share price is currently at $74.04 and the current support level sits at $66.98. Earlier in the year, precisely between February and April, there was a range in price between $113 and $164. The price broke out late in April which led the price to reach its current support level in mid-June 2022. This support level was last reached in May 2020.

On the daily, weekly, and monthly charts, there are no indicators of price being oversold on the RSI. Could this be an indication of a possible continued downward run of Etsy’s share price keeping in mind that on the 28th of June, 2022, the price opened at $79.11 and closed at $74.04 which was an 8% loss in just a single day? On another hand, candlesticks on the daily time frame indicate that price has been consolidating. From our analysis, we see the bears continuing to push the price lower despite the consolidation.

Disney Share Price Heads Back To Lockdown’s Low

Like many other stocks, Disney share price fell to $78.63 in March 2020 as a result of the global lockdown. Prior to the fall in 2020, Disney’s all-time high was at $154.84. The ease of lockdown led to the rally that pushed the price of Disney all the way up to $203.12 in March 2021. This price currently stands as the all-time high.

After the all-time high, the share price was caught in a range on the weekly chart. The range began at the end of March 2021 and stretched to the first week of November 2021. The share price broke out of the range to the downside in the second week of November 2021. The breakout has led to a continuous downward slope in price as price as of June 23, 2022 is at $94.30, which is over a 50% loss from the all-time high.

We can say Disney’s share price is currently in the region it was during the lockdown. Recent reports claim Disney’s share price dip is partly due to their insistence in inserting Queer ideology into its children movies which people see as “child-grooming” and therefore, reprehensible. Indications on RSI shows that price is currently oversold on the weekly time frame. Our analysts see Disney’s share price fall below the Lockdown low of $78.63.

Walmart Share Price Falls to A Two-Year Low

The American multinational retail company reached an all-time high at $161.03 in April 2022. This point was reached after price ranged from the latter part of 2021 to March 2022. Following the range, price broke out and headed for the aforementioned point that became the all-time high.

The month of May 2022 ended bearish after the price opened at $154.82 and closed at $128.38. The month of June 2022 has begun on a bearish note but $5 has been lost from the opening price of the month of June 2022 which was at $154.82. In May 2022, the price fell to as low as $117.05. Price last hit this point in July 2020.

RSI showed in Q4 2020 that price has been overbought. The trendline is yet to be broken despite the corrections. The 4-Hr Chart shows there was a gap down in the price of Walmart mid-May 2022. This gap down might close up and it could be an opportunity for the Walmart bulls to push price higher from the current price of $123.30. We might see price reach a new all-time high in the coming weeks.

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.

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.

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!
