Bank of America (BAC) - reversal pattern. 2012.06.01

Bank of America shares broke out of the descending channel a few days ago and the T1 trend line was already tested as a support yesterday.

Moreover, the volume was high (33.1 M) on a bullish day and all of the technical clues are pointing now towards a reversal. The first target is in the $8.10 area, followed by the $10.00 level on a mid-term scenario. The first resistance stands at the $7.50 level.

Although the technical perspective is favoring a bullish reversal, the investors must consider the weak economic data from Europe (euro-area unemployment at 11% and record low yields on germen bonds) that could affect the US markets as well, especially the banks and most of all Bank of America due to its low cost/share (below $10.00).
