BASF 07.14.2019 4H Chart Update
We can see that the stock ended clearly the cycle from 4/18/2019 peak at 5/03/2019 low. Above from there, it corrected the cycle from 4/18/2019 peak in the sequences of 3-7 or 11 swings. We can see nicely that BASF reached the equal legs extension area from 5/03 low towards 64.49-67.58€ area and the stock reacted nicely to the downside. After the initial reaction lower, BASF gave the press release that they cut the outlook for 2019. This is yet again a nice confluence between our technical/sequence analysis and fundamental data outcome. If combined the right way it can act as a great trading tool.
As of current price action BASF is close to taking out the 5/03/2019 low (58.40€). If the stock can manage to take out that low it would open up further extension lower from 4/18/2019 peak (74.61€). First targets lower can be the 0.618-0.764 extension area which would theoretically come at around 55.35-53€ per share. But for confirmation, it needs to break 5/3/2019 low (58.40€) first.
According to the business outlook for 2019 by BASF, we could see a significant slowdown in company sales which the technicals are also suggesting at this stage.
