SoFi Stock Has Doubled in a Month; Here’s the Trade

SoFi Technologies (SOFI) stock has roughly doubled in the past month.

Measured from the May low to the June high, the shares have climbed about 130%. At last check on Thursday the stock was down 4.3%. 

When we previously looked at the loan provider, I had mapped out a few upside levels but did not expect it to rally in 12 of 13 sessions and almost double in that span.

The stock has been part of the recent momentum burst for the bulls. We’re seeing better price action in small-cap stocks, as well as growth stocks via the ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK).

Given how beaten down many of these stocks have become, it was only a matter of time before investors saw some relief.

Now that SoFi is pulling back after the big run, investors are wondering where support may come into play. Let’s have a look at the chart.

When I previously looked at the stock, $8.50 was about as far as we were looking for the stock to go in the short term. At the time, that was good for another 21% rally and would send SoFi stock to 52-week highs.

Well it did even better, running to a recent high of $10.23.

Buyers are stepping in on today’s pullback. At the session low, the shares were down almost 9%.

From here, let’s see whether SoFi stock can give us a retest of the $8.50 level and the rising 10-day moving average.

In general, the 10-day moving average is active support for stocks in a strong bullish trend. When combined with the prior 52-week high, this could give the bulls a reasonable risk/reward buy-the-dip setup on the stock.

It helps that the first-quarter high is nearby, too, at $8.24. Further, the $8 to $8.50 zone has played a notable role in the stock’s price action — mostly serving as resistance — for more than a year now. It would be very constructive to see this zone turn into support.

On the upside, a move back up through $10 puts the recent high in play. Above $10.23 and SoFi shares could climb to the 161.8% extension at $11.17.
