C Golden Cross and similar price action to 2016/7Citi (C) has just made a Golden Cross (50d SMA crossing 200d SMA). The crosses in Sep 12 and Sep 16 were followed by 75%+ increases in price, so this is primarily a Golden Cross trade. The price/action into the Sep 16 GC is very similar to that from Jan 18. Also the bullish consolidation into earnings, followed by the pullback on account of the macro market and going ex-div May 3, means we can hope for a retouch of the 200SMA and enter at 65.70. The stop is placed at 60, the consolidation low, and a modest 36% target of 90 gives us 4.26:1 trade.

Cash money, but just how much?For those following the Financial Sector two big dates are coming up fast for Citigroup ($C): The 26th of September next week, when the Fed decides rate raising (decreasing/no hike) and mid October when $C and other banks report earnings. The Sept 21 - $72 strike was just too tempting at $0.20/contract. Now that Citigroup, $XLF and the market in general is heading north, should gains be cut and collected today, tomorrow or are we gliding to the weekend on the wings of euphoria? $C beaten down MACD converged bullish, and the buy rumor sell news still has about 5 more days before expiration (unlike the Sept 21 contracts). The resistance at the $71.5 strike seems to be the only remaining obstacle before a short-term run on $73. As always, do your own due diligence. -Bayarizard

Earnings season for the US banking sector is openingEarnings season for the US banking sector is turning into an active phase tomorrow. Two largest banks - JPMorgan and CitiGroup – will publish their financial statements for the second quarter. This will happen on Friday July 13, 2018 before the market open. Our expectations for the stock market from the current earnings season are quite optimistic, and as for the US banking sector, they are doubly optimistic. Let's start with the fact that recently the financial results of corporation act as a catalyst for the growth of American stocks. Here are just a few of the most typical examples: after the publication of the previous financial quarterly report, Apple shares went up by 5% in just one day and increased by 10% during the next week. On the shares of Facebook, everything was even more dynamic - shares during one (!) day grew by 10% (!). Shares of Amazon grew by 15% in just 3 (!) days. As for the banking sector in general and JPMorgan and CitiGroup in particular, despite the negative reaction of the markets to the quarterly results last time (the results, by the way, were better than the forecasts), we consider the existing conditions to be almost ideal for qualitative and quantitative growth of financial indicators of these banks. This is primarily about the growth of US interest rates, which allow banks to increase their margins and, accordingly, to increase earnings. In addition, Trump's tax reform and the general economic state of the US allow us to expect another excess of expert forecasts from JPMorgan and CitiGroup. We also note that both banks are characterized by an aggressive dividend policy. And if JPMorgan has long been yielding dividends at 2% per annum, CitiGroup has intensified only recently. But how they became much more active. The growth of dividend payments amounted to almost 200% (!). All this is a serious additional argument in favor of buying shares of JPMorgan and CitiGroup. Given that the financial results will be published tomorrow BEFORE the opening of the market, the decision on the trade must be taken now. Both shares are near the lower boundaries of their medium-term ranges. So, the prices for purchases are ideal. As for the growth prospects, in both cases we are talking about +/-10% returns (without the leverage). So, in our opinion, these trades (buy JPMorgan and CitiGroup shares) are extremely attractive from all positions, both technical and fundamental. Our recommendation is the purchase of shares of JPMorgan and CitiGroup today from the current prices. Because tomorrow it may be too late.
