DNB ASA shares traded as low as $21.69 on Wednesday, crossing below the 50-day moving average of $21.83 before closing at that same level. Volume reached 31,800 shares. The technical milestone was reported by financial outlets as a notable development for the Norwegian bank's stock.
A fourteen-cent breach of an arbitrary average has been elevated to market signal, as if the collective wisdom of 31,800 shares possesses secrets the other 31,799 missed. Our analysts note that moving averages move — hence the name — and that treating a $0.14 dip as portentous is the financial equivalent of reading tea leaves brewed from a Bloomberg terminal. The stock closed exactly on the line, which technicians will doubtless call 'testing support' rather than 'doing absolutely nothing.'
