Chart Patterns Suggest That Telecom Stocks Are At The Head Of More

The bounce from the March lows has sent the prices of assets in many sectors back above their respective 200-day moving averages. This key indicator is required by active traders for the signal of a long-term move higher, and on the basis of the models discussed below, it seems as if a field that is likely to arouse the attention of traders in the days and weeks to come is that of telecommunications.

As you can see on the chart below, the fund price has recently broken above its 200-day moving average and found support in the level on each attempt of retracement in the last few weeks.

The upward trend has also triggered a bullish crossover between the 50-day and 200-day moving average, known as the golden cross, which is common for long-term buy signal, which is used by is to mark the beginning of a long-term bullish. Based on this model, we expect bullish traders to enter a position as close to current levels as possible and to protect against a sudden change in fundamentals by placing stop-loss orders below $67.05.

The Bottom Line

Telecom is one of the areas of the market that tends to be relatively underfollowed because of preferences for other segments such as hardware, software, precious metals, and health care. As discussed above, the farm near great levels of support combined with the long-term moving average crosses suggest that this group might just be starting a major long term higher.
