Comments

Marriott Vacations Worldwide (VAC) turned lower in February and the selloff is probably far from over if my analysis of the charts is correct. Let's put those vacation plans on hold for now and check out the charts and indicators of the seller of vacation ownership products.

In this daily bar chart of VAC, below, I can see that prices are trading below the declining 50-day moving average line and below the declining 200-day moving average line. The trading volume has been increasing the past four months, telling me that traders are voting with their feet and selling. The On-Balance-Volume (OBV) line has been in a clear decline since February as sellers of VAC have been more aggressive than buyers. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) oscillator is bearish but trying to generate a cover shorts buy signal.
