Why Uber Could Be Due for Another Pullback

[Trading With Larry Benedict]( Why Uber Could Be Due for Another Pullback By Larry Benedict, editor, Trading With Larry Benedict After a promising rally faltered early this year, Uber Technologies (UBER) soon became stuck in a downtrend. Then a surprise earnings beat in early May saw Uber’s rally kick off again. When we [checked in on UBER on May 16]( (orange arrow in the chart below), it had gapped higher off those Q1 results. But it was showing signs of overheating. Then after trading sideways in May, UBER broke higher in June. It recently traded at 18-month highs. However, with UBER again looking overstretched, I want to see how things might play out from here… From a Fresh Rally to 18-Month Highs After losing around two-thirds of value from its 2021 high, UBER bottomed out in June 2022. After a brief rally into August, it traded in a sideway pattern through the end of last year.

But the Relative Strength Index (RSI) made an inverse ‘V’ and reversed from overbought territory (upper grey dashed line), and UBER drifted lower as momentum sagged… Recommended Link [He Declined to Go on CNBC – Now He’s Finally Revealing His “Millionaire Secret”]( [image]( During the 2008 financial crisis, millionaire trader Jeff Clark stunned the world when he managed to double his readers’ money 26 TIMES… CNBC caught wind of this and asked Jeff to come on live TV to explain his secret.

That rally off ‘B’ coincided with two bullish technical signals… - The RSI broke through resistance (green line) and gained a firm holding in the upper half of its range. As the chart shows, that’s where the RSI has remained in this recent leg of UBER’s rally. - The 10-day Moving Average (MA, red line) broke above the longer-term 50-day MA (blue line) with both MAs tracking higher. The RSI has tracked closely to the overbought line since UBER’s rally resumed in May. You’ll often see a pattern like this when a stock is trending strongly. However, it’s the most recent part of this RSI pattern and UBER’s stock price that has caught my eye… Take another look: Uber Technologies (UBER) [Image] Source: eSignal While UBER has been making higher highs (upper red line), the RSI has been making lower highs (lower red line). When the RSI starts trending lower like that, it eventually pulls the stock price lower too. That’s because it becomes increasingly difficult for a stock to rally (or even trade sideways) if buying momentum is steadily dwindling. Now the RSI is back trading near support inside the orange circle… So what can we expect from here? Free Trading Resources Have you checked out Larry's free trading resources on his website?

Watch Out for Support The most immediate thing I’m watching right now is what happens with the RSI around its support level. For UBER’s rally to continue, we’ll need to see the RSI hold support and remain inside the upper half of its range. If the RSI instead breaks through support and gets stuck in its lower range, UBER’s pullback from its recent June 28 high could gather further downward momentum. This could soon see UBER testing $40. The other thing I’ll be keeping an eye on is our two MAs. As I mentioned, both have been tracking higher. However, if the 10-day MA rolls over on the back of declining momentum, that would add further evidence of an emerging down move. The 10-day MA then crossing below the 50-day MA would indicate a bigger fall is likely in the cards.
