Technical Monday: Time to Strike a Match?
Michele Schneider | Oct 15, 2024 01:20AM ET
From a consumer instinct perspective, I still hear about couples hooking up for a permanent union through Match.com.
Match (NASDAQ:MTCH) has been under pressure since its peak in 2021.
Activist investors have been pushing for changes post-pandemic.
According to Zachs, “On the business front, the firm is currently seeing mixed response from paying Tinder users, but its Hinge app posted 48% annual revenue growth to $134 million in the second quarter.”
The reason is making the cut for my technical Monday Daily, is because
- I still believe that the increasing use of diet drugs will create a new generation of people dating
- Technically, the chart is interesting.
The weekly chart shows a substantial base forming starting at the midpoint of 2023.
Plus, the price has now cleared the 50-week moving average and is consolidating between $34 and $39.
Looking at the Daily chart:
MTCH is in a bullish phase.
MTCH slightly underperforms SPY.
Real Motion is bullish, but the dots have not cleared the Bollinger Band since August.
I would like to see a close above 38.50.
This is a stock that can handle about a $2 risk as it has to follow through almost immediately in the current environment, or a quick exit is appropriate.
