Candlestick Chart Breaks an Uptrend Line:
Adobe (ADBE) shares staged a major breakdown yesterday. Accumulation in the shares was already running out of steam with the shares failing to break through $630.00 resistance earlier this month, establishing a lower high and forming a Double Top failure, which is bearish in candlestick charts.
Yesterday, the shares turned decisively downward, snapping two uptrend lines, and falling back under $550.00 on a spike in volume, indicating a significant increase in selling pressure. Next potential downside support appears in the $480.00 to $500.00 area where a round number, measured move and previous support and resistance cluster. Initial resistance drops toward $580.00.
Point and Figure Chart Rolls Over:
Adobe (ADBE) shares staged a strong recovery rally up out of the 2022 market bottom, advancing in a step pattern of rallies followed by periods of consolidation at higher levels. Over the last two months, it appears that accumulation has wound down with resistance emerging near $642.20, short of the late 2021 peak.
This month, the shares have rolled over and broken down, taking out $4560.0 support and completing a bearish Double Bottom pattern, signaling the start of a new downtrend. Initial support may emerge between $496.45 and the $500.00 round number, where a number of previous column highs and lows cluster. A similar cluster appears in the $440.80 to $458.65 area, which also aligns with a horizontal count. Initial resistance on a bounce appears near $593.30 based on a 3-box reversal.
With its SMAX score (which is a near-term 1 to 90-day indicator comparing an asset against different equal-weight asset classes) dropping to a bearish 5 out of 10, ADBE is exhibiting short-term weakness against the asset classes.
