Why Cisco’s Stock Reversal Could Be a Game-Changer

Why Cisco’s Stock Reversal Could Be a Game-Changer

Stocks can move fast, like the speed of an arrow flying through the air. And if you don’t monitor your charts, you can easily miss a trading opportunity.

Last week, I wrote about CSCO stock, one of the stocks filtered in my StockCharts Technical Rank (SCTR) scan. At the time, I was waiting for CSCO’s stock price to pull back to its 21-day exponential moving average (EMA). Well, it happened a lot quicker than I anticipated.

It’s good that I go through all my ChartLists every trading day. The pullback also coincided with the upward-sloping trendline. It was accompanied by declining relative performance against the Nasdaq Composite ($COMPQ) and a decline in the value of the full stochastic oscillator.

Is this a classic buy-the-dip moment? To answer the question, let’s look at the daily chart of CSCO.

The uptrend broke slightly to the downside, but the support from the 21-day EMA was strong. Thursday’s price action indicated a reversal is possible.

The stochastic oscillator is approaching the 50 level and is starting to turn higher. The last two times CSCO’s stock price pulled back to the 21-day EMA, the oscillator turned up at around the 50 level. I’ll be watching to see if a similar scenario unfolds this time.

CSCO’s price action looks attractive. I’m ready to open a long trade in CSCO when the %K line crosses over the %D in the stochastic oscillator. CSCO’s stock price hit an all-time high in early December, so a pullback is a prime time to open a long position if all your criteria are met.

The Game Plan

Cisco Systems may not be a direct AI play, but it is a networking company, and the stock could benefit from tech companies’ increased AI spending. So it’s not too far-fetched to anticipate CSCO’s stock price to ride along with the AI wave.

Thursday’s price action does not yet confirm a bullish upswing, but I’ll watch this chart closely. It’s an opportunity I don’t want to miss.

Even if it looks like a near-perfect setup to buy on the dip, there’s still a chance the trade could go against me. If I enter a position at around $59 and the trade goes south, the 50-day SMA would be my maximum stop loss.
