Bank of America Stock Rallies After JP Morgan Increases Price Target (NYSE: BAC)

Yesterday Bank of America made news by increasing its minimum pay to $20 a hour.  However, it was JP Morgan’s price increase from $30 to $33.50 that made it go higher.   Bank of America shares renewed the 52-week high following yesterday’s trading session, November 4, gaining 9% since the publication of a strong report for the past quarter on October 16. Revenue rose to $23 billion, exceeding market expectations of $22.2 billion. At the same time, Bank of America was the only competitor that showed an increase in net interest income. Earnings per share rose to $0.56, exceeding Wall Street’s expectations of $0.50.

Over the past week, Bank of America shares rose by 1.76%. The S&P 500 index for the same period increased by 1.27%.

Support and resistance

The company’s shares show a steady uptrend. #BAC quotes renewed the key extremes. At the moment, the issuer is testing a resistance level of 32.50. The level of 31.30 is a “mirror” support. There is potential for further growth. Indicators do not give accurate signals: the price has fixed above MA (50) and MA (200); the MACD histogram is near the zero line. It is better to open the positions from the key levels.

A comparative analysis of the multiples of the company and competing companies in the industry indicates the neutrality of #BAC.

Resistance levels: 32.50, 33.00.

Support levels: 31.10, 30.30, 29.30.

Trading Ideas

Long positions may be opened after the price consolidates above the level of 32.50. The closing of the profitable positions is possible at the levels of 33.50, 34.50, and 35.00. Stop loss – 31.50.

Short positions may be opened after the price consolidates below the level of 31.10 with the targets at 29.60–29.00. Stop loss – 32.00.

Implementation period: 3 days.
