MU: This is a Critical Support Level (GAP) | (D / W Charts).The MU chart analysis from both daily and weekly perspectives reveals significant technical dynamics affecting the stock's price trajectory.
Daily Chart Analysis:
The daily chart showcases a completed head and shoulders pattern, a classic bearish reversal indicator. The neckline of this pattern was decisively broken, and subsequent price action continued downward, confirming the bearish outlook suggested by this formation. We did warn about this pattern in our previous public analysis, here on TradingView, and the link to it is below this post, as usual.
This bearish trend was further validated by the price falling below the 21-day exponential moving average (EMA) and finding a resistance there, reinforcing the strength of the downtrend. Recent trading sessions depict attempts at stabilization, with the stock managing to close a prior gap, signaling some buying interest at these lower levels. However, the sustainability of this support is yet to be confirmed as the price seeks a new equilibrium.
Weekly Chart Analysis:
On the weekly timeframe, the broader view into MU's price action shows a consistent downward movement post the head and shoulders pattern visible on the daily chart. The significant drop beneath the 21-week EMA underscores a strong bearish momentum.
Moreover, the gap at 86.82 is visible in this time frame as well, and it is acting as a mid-term support level for MU, which dropped significantly in the past few weeks. The proximity to gap support around $86.82 will be critical to watch, as a sustained break below could accelerate further declines towards lower support levels. On the other hand, if we see a confirmed bottom in this area, the timing would be perfect for a bounce.
Overall Outlook:
Both charts align to paint a bearish picture in the short to medium term, driven by key technical patterns and breaks below essential moving averages. The closing of gap on both charts suggests that the market is attempting to stabilize around a support level. For now, we should monitor these developments closely, as the ability of the stock to hold above recent lows or breach them could dictate the next major movement direction for Micron's shares.
