Uber Daily Chart Analysis

• The stock is nearing resistance in what traders call a falling wedge pattern. This pattern can be seen by the falling highs and lows, with highs falling at a steeper rate than the lows. The falling wedge pattern is known to be a bullish reversal pattern if the stock can cross above the pattern’s resistance level and can consolidate above it.
• The stock crossed above the 50-day moving average (green) Wednesday, but continues to trade below the 200-day moving average (blue). This indicates the stock is beginning to see some consolidation. The 50-day moving average may hold as an area of support, while the 200-day moving average may act as resistance.
• The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has been climbing for the past couple of weeks and now sits at 54. The RSI crossing above the middle line shows that the stock is seeing more buying pressure now than selling pressure. This is a sign of a potential reversal coming in the future.
