DocuSign Daily Chart Analysis

  • Shares saw a huge drop off below support in what technical traders call a descending triangle pattern.
  • The $190 price level is an area where the stock has been able to hold as support many times in the past, but may eventually become resistance if the stock is ever able to reach this area once again.
  • The stock trades below both the 50-day moving average (green) and the 200-day moving average (blue), indicating the stock is likely facing a period of bearish sentiment.
  • Each of these moving averages may hold as a potential area of resistance in the future.
  • The Relative Strength Index (RSI) plummeted lower and now sits at 13 on the indicator. This is extremely low and shows there are mainly sellers in the stock now as most buyers have turned into sellers following the news.
