Whirlpool Corporation could start a technical downturn after the rebound of recent sessions.
Fundamentally, Whirlpool Corporation faces many challenges. Its growth is weakening and its outlooks are grim. Its earnings quality are not good at all and the Reuters consensus is quite pessimistic about the stock and has revised downward its EPS and Revenue estimates for the coming exercise. The manufacturer of home appliance is struck in the global economic slowdown.
Graphically, the share has rebounded technically toward its USD 184 resistance. This area could trigger a sell signal for investors in case of profit-taking (all the moving averages are downward oriented). This is why the bullish trend is about to stop, and we could expect a reversal in the coming trading session.
Considering technical and fundamental arguments, the most active investors should open short positions at current prices. The objective will be fixed near to the USD 174.90 support. Only a breakdown of this level would open new bearish targets toward USD 163.1. The stop loss will be set above USD 184.6.
