Jumia Daily Chart Analysis

Jumia shares look to be forming what technical traders may call a head and shoulders pattern.
The stock is trading below both the 50-day moving average (green), and crossed below the 200-day moving average (blue) Tuesday, indicating sentiment in the stock looks like it’s turning bearish.
These moving averages may both hold as a resistance level in the future.

Key Levels To Watch

The head and shoulders pattern happens after the stock pulls back steeply and buyers are unable to push the price to new highs.
This bearish reversal pattern can be confirmed when the price is able to cross below the support levels formed by buyers earlier.
The $32 level is an area the chart has been able to find buyers at before, but recently shares of Jumia dropped below this potential support line. This hints that the stock could see a further push to the downside while sentiment remains bearish.

What’s Next?

Bullish technical traders would like to see the stock find some support and start turning around. If the stock can find some support, bulls would like the stock to begin to form higher lows.

Bearish technical traders would like to see the stock continue trading downwards. The head and shoulders pattern looks to be confirmed and bears would like to see a further push downwards in the coming days.
