Visa formed an almost-perfect channel between May and mid-August, and ran to new highs before Labor Day. The recent volatility dragged it lower, but the pullback may be an opportunity.
The patterns are relatively straightforward. One is the $200 level, the top of the channel. That old resistance now seems to be providing support.
Second is the 50-day simple moving average (SMA), which rose up toward the same $200 level.
Finally, V’s price action isn’t exactly a cup-and-handle. However it’s similar, with a high basing pattern followed by a move toward new highs.
V (and Mastercard) is one of the most direct proxies for consumer spending. That may also set it up to benefit if the pandemic continues to abate.
