When stocks are trending higher, the bulls are in control. When they're heading lower, it's the bears who are in charge.
The breaking of a correctly drawn uptrend line shows that the bears may be taking control. It could be the start of a new downtrend.
When stocks break through important resistance levels, there tends to be some profit-taking. Sometimes, this selling pushes the stock right back down to the level.
That appears to be the case with Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN).
When it comes to stocks, there are certain price levels that are more important than others. And shares of NIO Inc. (NYSE: NIO) have just reached one.
In April, the stock hit resistance when it got to the $43 level and a sell-off followed. This resistance broke in June and shares moved higher.
Shares of Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ: NFLX) are ripping higher Thursday morning. Some analysts attribute this to the streaming service's entry into video games, while others tout its domination in the 2021 Emmy nominations.
There’s a good chance shares of Nordic American Tankers Limited (NYSE: NAT) will stage some type of rebound: the stock is oversold and at support.
Support is a large concentration of buyers who are trying to pay the same price for their stock. In this case, the level is $2.85.
In April, shares of HEXO Corp. (NYSE: HEXO) found support around the $5 level. The bulls turned the tide, and a significant rally followed.
But now it’s different.
The bears have pushed the stock lower again. And this time they may be winning. The support has broken.
