Peloton Daily Chart Analysis

  • Peloton looks to be forming a head-and-shoulders pattern and is now nearing another key support level.
  • The stock is trading below both the 50-day moving average (green) as well as the 200-day moving average (blue), indicating sentiment in the stock has been bearish recently.
  • These moving averages may both hold as a resistance level in the future.

Key Peloton Levels To Watch

  • The head-and-shoulders pattern occurs after the stock pulls back steeply and buyers are unable to push the price to new highs.
  • This bearish reversal pattern can be confirmed when the price is able to cross below the support levels previously formed by buyers. This line may be considered the dropoff line. 
  • The $100 level is an area where the stock has been able to find buyers. Bulls are looking to see the price bounce here and move higher.
  • Bearish traders would like to see this support level fail to hold.
