Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) is a big player in the Agriculture Industry. ADM revenues are 64 Billion. So the 64 Billion dollar question is : Can this stock start to outperform? Let's look into the chart.
The stock has been trending down for a year. This week, the SCTR finally went back above 75 for the first time in a year. The Relative Strength shown in purple is at new 6-month highs which is bullish. The price has recently moved above the 200 DMA for the first time since last summer. After a small pullback, today showed a renewed interest as the ADM stock surged higher. The volume was 80% higher than normal which is very nice with the surge in price.
Lastly, the MACD is also turning higher from above zero which is very bullish. This chart is setting up nicely. With $37 as support, this looks like a nice uptrend to participate in. There are some other factors that make this chart interesting.
