Looking at the chart above, you’ll see that the price of M&T Bank has been stuck in a range since Jan 2022. Its price has yet to be able to break out of the range for 7 months.

Does this mean that you stay out of M&T Bank completely?

This depends on your risk appetite.

You could:

1. Go long on M&T Bank’s shares with a reduced position size and wait for its price to break out and for the indicators to agree with each other to enter your remaining position size; OR

2. Position Trading (Daily)

From the look of Paramount Global’s chart above, you can tell that it’s in a downtrend.

You can see a red arrow which symbolizes the likely direction of prices in the coming days and weeks.
