JPMorgan technical analysis
JPMorgan stock hit a new higher high at the end of November in the wake of the US election. Since then, it has weakened, though buyers entered to defend the $230 level in late December.
The stock price has rallied along with the broader market but shows no sign of a longer-term change in direction as yet. However, continued weakness might bring the $230 level into play again as possible support. By contrast, a fresh rally through January’s highs could result in a fresh test of the November record highs.

Goldman Sachs technical analysis
2024 was a much better year for Goldman Sachs compared to 2023. The stock price struggled to make much headway in 2023, but it rediscovered its bullish momentum in 2024. Early December witnessed a new record high, and like JPMorgan, the recent weakness has only put a small dent in the strong uptrend seen over the past twelve months.
