Aston Martin Shares: Technical Analysis

The technical picture reveals a bottoming triangle that formed during 2020 as it acted as a reversal pattern. Since November, when the stock markets around the world started a new leg higher, Aston Martin’s share price broke above the upper edge of the triangle. Ever since, it kept forming higher highs and higher lows, a series typically seen during bullish trends.

The upper edge of the channel acts as resistance, while the lower one acts as support. While inside the rising channel, the market remains bullish, and traders should focus on finding continuation patterns. At present, the price appears to consolidate in a pennant formation – a continuation pattern that should lead to a new higher high, providing the Q4 2020 earnings do not disappoint.
