Las Vegas Sands Has a Weak Hand

Are the odds stacked against shares of the resort and casino operator?
Comments

Las Vegas Sands  (LVS)  was finding chart support around $44 but that level is giving way and prices are heading lower. 

Let's go to the charts to see what the latest "odds" are for the stock.

In the daily bar chart of LVS, below, I can see that prices gapped lower in April and have continued to weaken. Prices are testing/breaking the chart support around $44 and trade below the bearish 50-day moving average line and the bearish 200-day moving average line. 

The On-Balance-Volume (OBV) line has struggled all year and is not far from making a new low. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) oscillator is in a bearish alignment below the zero line.

In the weekly Japanese candlestick chart of LVS, below, I can see that prices have been weak since the early part of 2023. Prices trade below the declining 40-week moving average line. 

The OBV line has made a gentle decline since early 2023 and suggests we have seen months of liquidation (selling). The MACD oscillator is in a bearish alignment below the zero line.

Bottom-line strategy: If you want to go long LVS the odds are against you. Trade with the trend, which is down. Avoid the long side of LVS as further declines are anticipated.
