WFC bull signal

WFC is showing a macd bull signal as the money flow index drops down toward oversold territory (it's at 28, or 8 points above the signal line at 20).

WFC has been trading between $26.50 and $29.50 since last August, with a major breakout and breakdown to help keep everyone interested.

The shares are trading at $27.79, support is at $26.40 and resistance is at $29. So there's a fairly easy 6% of upside.

There's no clear trend on the price, so I wouldn't do a directional trade on this.

It would make a decent iron condor, with a maximum profit range skewed to the upside a bit, say between $27 and $29, for a 48-cent credit.


It has excellent financials and good analyst ratings. With greater confidence in the upside, it could be traded as a covered call, for a 80-cent premium on the $28 strike. Although the returns, 2.9% on expiry and 3.9% on exercise, are below my guidelines.
