JPMorgan Chase hit a record high on Monday morning but failed to hold. Now some traders may worry about a potentially bearish reversal.
The first pattern on today’s chart is the high-volume drop on May 20, which erased the previous seven sessions of gains. That could be interpreted as a false breakout. (Bearish outside candles also appeared on both the daily and weekly charts.)
JPM next tried to rebound but stalled near $201. That matches April’s monthly peak and the 50 percent retracement of the drop. Those points may confirm price action is getting less positive.
Third is the rising trendline along the lows of April and early May. If this line fails, will traders next brace for a potential retest of last month’s support?
Finally, the drop occurred amid the megabank’s 2024 Investor Day. The event had some potential negatives, like CEO Jamie Dimon saying the company will wait for lower prices before buying back stock. CFO Jeremy Barnum also suggested profitability could weaken later this year.
