Airbnb Daily Chart Analysis

• The stock was trading in what technical traders call a descending triangle pattern. This is known as a bearish continuation pattern, but since the stock was able to cross above the resistance in the pattern, it's looking more bullish.
• The stock trades above both the 50-day moving average (green) and the 200-day moving average (blue). This indicates bullish sentiment, and each of these moving averages may hold as an area of support in the future.
• The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has been climbing for the past couple of months and now sits at 65. This shows there is now more buying pressure in the stock than there is selling pressure. This is a very bullish sign.
