‘Death cross’ in Snap

Snap plunged two months ago. Now, after a period of consolidation, some traders may see further downside risk.

The first pattern on today’s chart is the bearish gap on February 7 after revenue missed estimates. The social-media stock tried to recover a month later but quickly reversed. That may confirm resistance is in place.

A descending triangle developed in the following month as lower highs occurred. That’s a potentially bearish continuation pattern.

Third, SNAP has remained mostly below its falling 21-day exponential moving average. That may reflect bearishness over the short and intermediate terms.

Finally, the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) had a “death cross” under its 200-day SMA this week. That may reflect bearishness over the longer term.
