Citigroup has developed successive falling and rising trendlines


Citigroup´s debacle has been one of the most representative amongst the Financial securities, which in 2008 underwent a severe correction. The International Financial conglomerate that competes in corporate, consumer and investment banking, reached at the end of 2006 the level of 57 dollars in the Stock markets. However, by the beginning of March 2009, its shares price was just one dollar.

Since then, it has experienced a significant recovery (about a 332%) mainly as a result of the North American Government's $700 billion bank bailout. Nevertheless, its increase has not been homogeneous at all. In fact, if we look at its one-year chart, we realize that there have been successive upward and downward movements. Despite this apparently unclear technical situation, Citigroup has formed three consecutive supports (1.00, 2.20 and 3.10 dollars) which reveals a gradual technical enhancement.

The most relevant feature of the short-term scenario is its upward trendline which began in the support of 3.10 dollars. As long as it remains intact, coherence demands long positions, despite the fact that prices can face some correction in the coming sessions.

The recommendation is to buy. Stop loss in 3.80 dollars.
