Goldman Sachs - technical view

Source: ProRealTime

The long-term trend for Goldman remains down as the price trades firmly below the 200-day simple moving average (SMA).

In the short-term, however we have a bullish wedge formation (red lines) and oversold signal on the company. This suggests that we could see a short-term rebound within the longer term uptrend.

The rebound would be considered following a break (close) above wedge resistance at roughly $328.90. This scenario would consider a move back towards the 375.50 level.

Traders respecting the longer term downtrend would, however look for a bearish reversal before this level ($375.50) for short entry. Alternatively, a break below wedge support ($299.60) could also suggest short entry with $269.70 the next support target.

In summary

- Goldman Sachs is set to release Q1 2022 results on the 14th of April 2022

- Q1 2022 are expected to show a year-on-year decline in both revenue and earnings per share (EPS)

- Long-term broker consensus suggests the share is currently a ‘buy’, with a longer term price target of $429.10

- IG clients with open positions on the share are predominantly long

- The long-term price trend for Goldman remains down, although in the short-term a falling wedge and oversold signal suggest a short-term rebound
