FedEx Corporation (NYSE:FDX) delivered a deep discount to your door yesterday morning. At its low point the stock was down almost 17% below Friday’s close. If you were lucky enough to grab some stock just above 130 congratulations. In fact there were many stocks that reacted like this, down 15% or more and recovered quickly. But if you missed it don’t worry. FedEx leaves those nice stickers on your door telling you they will be back tomorrow.
The chart of the stock may tell you the same thing, but not quite as explicitly. The candlestick that printed yesterday is called a hammer. It is noted for its long lower shadow following the open, that recovered and closed near the open and near the high of the day. It is a signal of exhaustive selling as sellers took control to drive the price down to 130, but buyers then overwhelmed them and drove the price back higher.
These candlesticks suggest a reversal, but need to be confirmed by a higher close Tuesday. Hence FedEx may be back around to give you a buying opportunity today. The other aspects of the chart can also be interpreted as ripe for a turnaround. The price has fallen far outside of the Bollinger Bands®, often a place where it snaps higher. Also the RSI is oversold and could bring in some oversold buyers looking for a bounce.
If you bought at the low, certainly protect your gains today, but if you missed it, look for these signs in FedEx (and other stocks like this) to confirm a reversal Tuesday.
