Swiss National Bank Downside Targets

From the stunning peak of $8,700 in April 2018, Swiss National Bank has declined –36.78% as of November 13, 2018.  What might be different about this time, versus when SNBN was at $4,449 or $5,940 is that when the price declined it never achieved the conservative downside target of the Speed Resistance Lines [SRL].

The latest decline has hit the conservative downside target at $4,414 and is in the process of retesting that level, as seen below.

Swiss National Bank: Downside Targets

In a posting on ZeroHedge there is mention of Swiss National Bank (SNBN) and the “bubble” that seems to be percolating in the stock.  We don’t know whether or not the price of the stock is in a bubble.  However, what does resonate with us is any sign of a parabolic rise in price.  In the case of SNBN, we believe that we can attribute Speed Resistance Lines (SRL) that are consistent with viable downside targets.

First, whenever applying SRLs, we like to find out if there has been any precedence on the matter. In the case of SNBN, we have obtained data from Yahoo!Quotes (ChartIQ), which goes back to 1995.  It is just our luck that there is a prior period when SNBN has a similar rise and subsequent decline.

Considering that there is a reasonable amount of precedent in the stock price movement of SNBN in the period from 1995 to 1997, we have taken the liberty in projecting what the current level of price increase could result in, if history is any guide.
