Barclays: sellers seize back control
Barclays sheds 5.4% as sellers reclaim control of the week
Our view last week
Barclays shares close the week up 0.9%, with buyers back in charge: 63% of volume came in on the buy side, after a week when the stock rose even as 76% of trading was on the sell side. Our weekly technical analysis reads momentum that keeps fading, with the trade still up 18% since it opened.
This week's summary
Barclays closes the week down 5.4%, and the mood has flipped: last week buyers ran the tape (63%), this time 80% of volume went to the sell side, with the last bar dominated by sellers to an extreme. Buyer dominance is collapsing and volume is contracting. The weekly structure stays bullish — aligned moving averages, price above the Ichimoku cloud — but ADX has been declining for 4 weeks: the trend holds, though it's losing conviction.
