The bearish pattern in the daily chart and the previous resistance in the weekly frame may drag down LivePerson, Inc.

Security: LPSN
Position: N/A

LivePerson, Inc., has a rising wedge on its daily chart (Figure 1). This stock highlights the reversal pattern of a bearish wedge. Here, the wedge is sloping upward in the direction of the existing trend, but the breakout direction will be down. After breaking out at $6.75, the bullish candle signal moved to $7.25. Then the rising wedge was formed. The stock may test its lows as a result, moving deeper.

The relative strength index (RSI)(14) seems unable to carry above 70. The marked circles presented on Figure 1 indicates how the RSI (14) went to 70 and then slipped below 50. And at current levels, the RSI has turned down, intending to repeat history. The average directional moving index (ADX)(14), which is at an overheated level of 46, can face some decline too. But traders should note that this decline in ADX would not change the overall trend.

The bearish formation, and a poor signal on both indicators, suggest that LivePerson, Inc. (LPSN), is likely to dip in the future. I would suggest that traders take their profits and remain on the sidelines till indications turn strongly bullish.

LPSN faces previous high resistance on its weekly chart (Figure 2). This resistance itself can pull down the stock. Though the price moves almost $3.50 with a strong moving average from $5.50 to $8, the previous high resistance equally resists the bullish rally. The RSI (14) in Figure 2 is showing a declining move above 70. The ADX (14) has moved above 20, indicating a developing moving average.

The daily chart formed a bearish pattern and the weekly chart faced the previous high resistance. Both are among the major obstacles in a bullish rally. Hence, LPSN is likely to correct.
