Citigroup Inc (NYSE:C) started higher off of a bottom in December. It filled a gap in January and started to morph into a sideways channel. It would stay on this channel for the next 9 months. It comes into the week pushing through the top and making a new 52 week high. The RSI is rising in the bullish zone with the MACD positive ad moving up.
The Bollinger Bands® have also opened to the upside. There is resistance at 74 and 76.35 then 77.50 and 80.25. Above that you have to look back to before the Great Financial Crisis. Support lower comes at 72 and 70 then 68.50. Short interest is low under 1%. The stock pays a dividend with an annual yield of 2.79% and starts trading ex-dividend November 1st.
