Expedia's One-Way Ticket Down

 | Nov 08, 2017 03:26PM ET

Recently, several leading online travel sites came under pressure after reporting earnings. Expedia (NASDAQ:EXPE) started the decline in the online travel space on October 27, when its shares dropped by 18.1%. Since EXPE's earnings report, other online travel stocks like Priceline.com (NASDAQ:PCLN) and TripAdvisor (NASDAQ:TRIP) have fallen as well. Needless to say, this industry group is under pressure.

Expedia traded as high as $154.24 on October 20, 2017. On Wednesday EXPE traded around $118.24 a share. The stock is also trading below its weekly 50 moving average, which indicates weakness on the charts. Traders and investor now have to look much lower for institutional sponsorship. The next major support for Expedia is around $95, which is where it was defended back in February 2017.

Be patient with this equity as the trend is down and further declines look likely in the coming months.
