We’ve been net sellers of the banks and we continue to remain cautious. The probability of discounted rights issues, increasing bad debts, reduction of dividends and little or no revenue growth, hardly makes for a compelling investment case.
However, the chance of the washout being completed in one continued move lower, is low. Normally, we’d expect to see value investors step in at some point and create a more structured decline, with reasonable rallies within the broader downtrend.
With the above in mind, I’ve looked at the MVB Bank ETF and based on a 50% retracement, we’re now within 5% of the likely support area. Any bounce will be moderate and investors should again look to sell the rally.
