Shares of Sprint Nextel Corporation S are trading higher on the session by 1.97%, at $5.44. With the recent decline in shares, you have to wonder where they could head next…
Bulls: Bulls will note that the 50-day and 200-day moving averages are upward-sloping, which indicates that shares have been under accumulation. In the past three months, any retracement to the 50-day moving average has been a strong buy point.
Bulls will also note that Sprint Nextel Corporation is currently sitting on horizontal support, at $5.31. Shares are also trading in very oversold territory.
A bullish trader could buy the August $5.50/6.00 call spread for a net debit of $0.17.
Bears: Bears will note that Sprint Nextel Corporation recently made a massive technical reversal; since then, shares have been sliding lower and lower. Bears will also note that the $5.30 level is not massive support; $5.10 is the first level with consistent and repeated support points.
The stock is also trading well above the 200-day moving average, which could lend some mean reversion to the downside. Bears will also note that Sprint Nextel Corporation has received a few downgrades over the past few days.
A bearish trader could buy the August $5.50/5.00 put spread for a net debit of $0.24.
