Juniper Networks: A Rare Tech Sector Breakout?
Most technology stocks remain well off their highs in 2022, but not Juniper Networks.
The maker of routers and switches closed at its highest level in almost 11 years last week. The breakout followed some interesting patterns that may anticipate a bigger move.
First, notice the three positive news events since early December. First, Jefferies issued an upgrade. Bank of America followed. Both cited increased capital spending on networks. Earnings and revenue then beat estimates thanks to strong demand.
JNPR proceeded to form a triangle as buyers defended the 100-day simple moving average (SMA). Prices broke out on March 17 and paused beneath the January high before crossing that line on Friday.
Finally, the consolidation since mid-November has occurred along the previous high from 2015. Notice how the $32.39 level was first resistance and more lately became support, which is potentially bullish.
