Citi Holds the 50-day SMA
Financial stocks have bounced in the last two weeks, and Citi is one of the biggest members of the group.
A few patterns stand out on the banking giant’s chart. First is its breakout above the 50-day simple moving average (SMA), followed by a pullback to hold that line.
Next is the late June highs around $71.50, near the current level.
Third, notice how the 8-day exponential moving average (SMA) is now above the 21-day EMA. This may indicate shorter-term momentum has grown more bullish. In addition, MACD has been rising for almost a month.
Overall, C is one of the weaker names in the financial space. However this current setup may offer more apparent entries than stronger stocks like
Goldman Sachs and 
Wells Fargo. It also stands to benefit if the current rotation toward value continues and the Federal Reserve tapers (as officials like Raphael Bostic and Richard Clarida have suggested this month).
