MS Close to a Breakout

by | May 16, 2024

We’ve talked about the recent rise in bank and financial stocks, and that move has continued.

Several banking stocks have climbed near a breakout point and the banking group in general is now one of the top 35 hottest in the world.

And, like its cohort, MS is now nearing a breakout after a very long consolidation period.

Here’s the chart:

 

MS is nearing a high it hasn’t seen since early 2023.

A break above $100.99 could lead to a sizable explosion.

Especially if we get hints at a future rate reduction.

We’ll keep an eye on it.

Happy trading,
