Coca-Cola climbs 2.8% and breaks its lower highs: the Sell signal loses its grip
Our view last week
After 20 weeks above its signal line, Coca-Cola's weekly MACD has dropped below it, and a 2.5% slide carried the price to a fresh 30-day low. A week ago the histogram sat a hair above zero: now a new Sell signal is live on Coca-Cola stock. Price action shows a distribution phase and money flow stays negative, yet the price still trades above its 50-week average: on our technical analysis, from a swing trading angle, opening a short here is high-risk.
This week's summary
On the daily chart Coca-Cola broke its run of 3 lower highs and closed the week up 2.8%, while the defensive staples sector gained 3.6%. A week ago a Sell signal fired; now Coca-Cola stock is climbing back toward the Inversion Point and the decline is already fading out. The weekly MACD stays below its signal line and money flow is negative, yet on our technical analysis the price action offers no trade setup for a short.
