On a daily time frame, Walmart stock price is rising upward in parallel channels while forming higher high swings and bulls are trying to hold the prices above the 50 and 200 day EMA. In December, Walmart prices once attempted to break out of the $150 hurdle level but unfortunately due to heavy bear’s active in the supply zone prices were unable to sustain the higher levels and lost all its previous gains. 

Recently, WMT stock price took support at the $138.00 and bounced back while forming a bullish reversal candle but prices were unable to continue the momentum and ended up consolidating in the narrow range. However, it seems like prices will consolidate for some more time before deciding the further direction. 

Walmart Inc fundamentals are stagnant and from the past two quarters the company had reported a higher earnings as compared to the street estimates. According to the data in Trading View,  NYSE : WMT Q4 earning estimates are $1.51 and the revenue estimates stood at $159.22B and if the company succeeds to beat the estimates we may see some upward surprises in the WMT prices.

The technical indicators of the WMT stock are turning bullish and the price action seems to be in the favor of bulls. The MACD is on the way to generate a positive crossover and RSI at 49 denotes neutral sentiment between bullish and bearish positions However, if prices break down the rising trendline support at $138.00 then it will trigger a negative sentiment and bear’s can drag the prices towards the $128.00 level.

Summary

The Walmart stock prices are consolidating in the narrow range and are likely to decide the further direction after the Q4 earnings. The technical analysis suggests that prices are into the bulls grip till the $138.00 support level is sustained. However, the probability of the upward breakout is also low until the WMT beats the street Q4 expectation.

Resistance levels : $153.00 and $164.00
