Friday at a glance: an influx of buyers helped the e-commerce marketplaces operator to end the session higher around $1,243.59, while establishing a $1,223.77 to $1,262 session range Friday.
MercadoLibre made an initial breakout above its 50 day Simple Moving Average at $1,239.32, a potential indicator of a newly emerging bullish phase. 'Bullish Harami' is a candlestick chart indicator used for detecting reversals in an existing bear trend. It is generally indicated by a small price increase that's contained within a broader downward price movement and is commonly associated with a bearish trend coming to an end. Price action remains constrained around the key Fibonacci level of $1,252.35 currently serving as resistance. If broken, the next Fib hurdle is expected to be $1,268. MercadoLibre's lower Bollinger Band® is at $1,213, indicating that the market is oversold and fertile for new buyers. Despite this, MercadoLibre could be slowing down soon as it approaches resistance at $1,264.36. Of course, crossing it might suggest further gains are ahead.
MercadoLibre continues to move higher with technical analysis indicating the trend will continue in the short term.
