Nike Stock (NKE) Technical Analysis
In the daily chart of NKE stock price, the long-term price remained sideways within a symmetrical triangle pattern, where the daily price is above the 97.79 crucial support. In that case, a bullish range extension could be a long opportunity, where the main aim would be to test the 120.00 resistance level.
The dynamic 20-day EMA is closer to the current price, while the rising trendline support is a bullish confluence. Moreover, the significant high volume level since September 2023 is still above the current price, which needs to be overcome before forming a stable market trend.
Based on this outlook, a downside correction and a bullish rejection from the 97.79 to 90.00 area could be a long opportunity, targeting the 122.00 level. Moreover, an aggressive approach is to find a daily close above the 107.80 high volume level and open a long position.
On the bearish side, a strong selling pressure with a daily candle below the 88.71 level could eliminate the long opportunity and open the room for reaching the 60.00 area.
