💾 Capital One Financial Corporation | Financial DetoxI started a series with the TOP10 largest bank in the USA. I went all the way through 8 and stopped... Let us finish now. Capital One (COF) is the 9th largest bank in the USA, the chart is also bearish and has been bearish since August 2021. This banking corporation as well as others have been going down for more than a year and the final phase of the bear market is about to take place. The type of correction we are witnessing is a Zig-Zag, 5-3-5. We have the initial 5-down mapped out, then the WXY correction and a new 5-down wave pattern starting to develop. This is Elliot Wave theory that I now mix together with my classic signals. The 0.618 Fib. retracement support level for the inflationary, money printing, bull-market of 2020-2021 has been broken. The current price trades below this level and closing below it confirms lower prices. Likely to close below based on all the bearish signals coming from this chart. ✔️ We have an established downtrend. ✔️ There is a bearish cross on the MACD (chart below). ✔️ The RSI trending lower. MACD: As I mentioned in my latest Bitcoin article, we still have some turbulence to go through in 2023. 2024 Everything should start to get better. All the weak banks will be flushed out and a new cycle will start. Just as we saw with Crypto where the gambling/weak companies were removed, the bear market works the same all across. Let's call it a "financial detox" once more. Namaste.

Capital One -- Not in My WalletAlthough Capital One is involved with more than consumer credit cards, it doesn't feel like a great place to be with record unemployment -- while unpopular, I am taking the gamble that the longer term trend is closer to '08 style credit crisis. The indicators line up, as well as the exact price levels. If this sells off (starting with poor earnings next week?) and was to do an exact length match to the bottom as in '08, it would be 17 monthly candles, or in this case roughly December 2021. COF broke through its 200 day moving average, and I don't see the earnings impressing.

Capital One data breach means nothing - BullFundamental Analysis It appears Capital One isn’t the only company affected by this--it’s just the first company to publicly acknowledge it has been hacked and the most proactive in addressing the security situation. Meaning... as soon as other companies report the same, they will get the bad attention. Because of the breach they will lose $150M-300M, which is nothing for this size of a bank. The real impact might be more of sentiment towards the stock though. Equifax very recently had a much more significant breach, and the stock just brushed it off. Technical Analysis Watch the SMA(50) as support. OBV and RSI=52, did not reach dangerous levels on this drop. MACD did cross below the signal, but it is on its way up.
