Market Recap
Bank of America closed at $53.20, slipping 0.17%, but sits just ~1.5% below its $54.00 52-week high after a persistent multi-month climb.
Drivers today:
(1) positioning ahead of the Jan 14, 2026 earnings date;
(2) steadier rates at the long end easing NIM fears;
(3) money-center banks benefiting from credit quality holding up.
Price action remains constructive with shallow pullbacks.

MACD(12,26,9): 0.69 vs 0.64 with a +0.05 histogram—momentum positive but modest;
RSI(14) ~58 sits bullish-neutral. Base case: sideways-to-up; a close > $54.00 likely targets $55.0–55.6. Bear case: lose $52.3 (EMA-20) → test $51.2 (EMA-50).
