In mid-2017, Starbucks Corp. (Friday’s close US$57.40) started a down-trend as it traded below a falling trend-line (solid line). Up until mid-2018, the stock found support near US$52-US$53 (shaded area), but then it fell below this level and its 40-week Moving Average (40wMA) to signal the continuation of the down-trend (A).

Behaviour indicators including the falling 40-week Moving Average (40wMA) and the falling trend-line (solid line) confirm the negative status. The stock is currently in the midst of a minor recovery rally toward its average to provide a selling opportunity (B). Only a sustained rise above US$60-US$61 would reverse the current negative trend.

Point & Figure measurements provide targets of US$45 and US$40.
