MBT:
- Weekly Chart corrected, still above moving averages
- Daily Chart corrected to 50 day MA, close to support of 96-97
- RSI corrected its overbought levels
- Price went back in the Bollinger Bands (weekly)
Metrobank corrected today from its previous price of 107 to today's close of 98.7. Its performance has been stellar the past 3 weeks, showing a gain of close to 12%, so why the sudden drop?
Aside from the regular price correction because of the quick run up, it could possibly be caused by fundamental issues of an upcoming stock rights offering. A lower stock offer price would mean that the company is overvalued at this point, while a higher offer price would mean the opposite. Depending on the price of the stock rights offer, Metrobank could either correct further or consolidate for the mean time.
If I were positioned in this and did not get to sell upon my stop loss being hit (which I assumed was what happened for most traders holding the stock), I would hold and see if the support at 96 - 97 would hold. The uptrend is still intact and all moving averages still point to a healthy uptrend.
If I were looking to buy, It might be a good time to enter given the correction from overbought levels and the closer distance to the moving average supports. But given the circumstances, it might be wise to wait on the news of the stock rights offering before executing any buy order.
