State Street Testing Major Support This Week
- August 14th, 2018

At his week’s low shares of State Street have stretched the drop from the January 2018 highs to just over 27%. This ugly sell off included seven straight lower monthly highs as layers of support consistently gave way. For patient investors the end result is very low risk entry opportunity now that major support has come into play.
Back on July 20th STT suffered its worst loss of the year. This 7.4% earnings inspired flush began with a huge downside gap that drove shares to fresh 2018 lows. STT reached another new low this month but selling pressure has begun to ease noticeably. Downside exhaustion appears to be setting in.
Trading notes: This week STT is testing the upper band of a major support zone. The $82.50 area represents a 50% retracement of the powerful rally off the 2016 lows. From the January/July double bottom that year the stock surged over 100% by the start of this year. Currently STT is nearly as oversold(weekly MACD)as it was while putting in a major bottom in the first quarter of 2016.
Other key levels in this support area include the 2015 and 2016 highs($81.25-$81.90). The lower band is marked by the 40 week moving average($79.50). Back in late 2016 this moving average held an important low just weeks prior to the election inspired bull run.
We are long STT in some managed accounts.
