Coca-Cola (KO) stock has seen a significant decline but shows signs of a potential bottoming phase. Technical analysis suggests a breakout above $65 resistance could lead to a return to 2024 highs. Bullish momentum divergence and Fibonacci convergence provide support for this thesis.
Shares of Coca-Cola (KO) have experienced a notable decline, shedding approximately 17% of their value following a peak around $73 in September 2024. After reaching a low point in January, the downward trend has shown signs of weakening, with improvements in price momentum suggesting a potential bottoming phase. Our analysis across multiple timeframes indicates that a breakout above resistance around $65 could propel KO back towards its 2024 highs.
When a stock finds itself in an established downtrend, traders actively search for signals that point towards a potential reversal in price direction. One common bottoming pattern known as 'bullish momentum divergence' occurs when price makes new lows, but the RSI (Relative Strength Index) simultaneously forms higher lows.The daily chart of KO clearly displays a bullish momentum divergence using the price lows observed in November 2024 and January 2025. During this period, the RSI has been sloping higher, implying that the selling pressure is gradually easing, and a potential bottom could be imminent. To confirm an upward breakout, we are particularly focused on the 200-day moving average, which sits around $65.20 and aligns closely with the November swing high at $65. If KO manages to push above this resistance level, it could signify the completion of the bottoming phase and the initiation of a new bullish trend.Our technical analysis is further strengthened by Fibonacci retracement levels, using the September 2024 high and the January low. The 38.2% retracement level aligns around $65.50, creating a 'confluence of support' alongside the November swing high and the 200-day moving average. This convergence provides compelling evidence that a break above $65.00-$65.50 would likely usher in a new bullish phase for Coca-Cola.However, it's important to acknowledge that KO has exhibited relatively subdued volume over the past three months. The Chaikin Money Flow indicator, which tracks volume trends by weighting each day's volume by the strength of the daily price action, needs to show a move above the zero level on any breakout to confirm an influx of buyers propelling KO above resistance.Moving to a weekly chart provides a longer-term perspective on how the recent pullback compares to previous downturns for Coca-Cola. We are employing the weekly PPO indicator to identify pullbacks that have transitioned back into a bullish trend phase. The thick green lines represent strong buy signals, where the PPO indicator crosses over the signal line well below the zero level. Thin green lines indicate weaker buy signals, characterized by the PPO indicator buy signal occurring at or above the zero level. Observe how price action following strong buy signals typically leads to robust upward moves, while weaker buy signals often serve as continuation alerts, suggesting additional upside gains after the initial buy signal. The price action in January has generated conditions strikingly similar to previous strong buy signals, as the PPO indicator is poised to signal a new uptrend phase for KO. We also note that the PPO histogram is trending higher, an early warning sign that has preceded every strong buy signal over the past seven years
