$NKE bulls are in danger

14. Apr.

NKE is breaking down under a MAJOR multi-YEAR trendline (white) extending all the way from late 2017. This trendline was support and is now resistance. This week, NKE bounced off September 2023 lows and is now the rising white trendline which is acting as resistance.

Bearish setup - if NKE continues to break down the first level of support is at 88.66 which is the September 2023. Interesting, flow indicates traders bought short-term and medium-term $90, $91, and $92 puts. The next major level is October 2022 lows at 82.50. Indeed, flow indicates that $168,265 worth of October 2024 puts were bought on April 10th, 2024.

Bullish setup - if NKE can reclaim the rising white trendline and base above it this would be bullish and signal a false breakdown. If this occurs, the primary target is gap fill of the March 2024 earnings gap down at ~$100.79. Indeed, on Friday April 12th, a trader sold at bid 1.31M worth of April 19th, 2024 puts. Another trader bought $61,500 worth of September 100 calls. Weekly RSI and Williams %R are extremely oversold suggesting NKE has the potential to rally if it reclaims the rising white trendline.
