Although Nike seems like it should be viewed as old hat shoes, the Dow component is most certainly relevant in terms of its potent brand and international growth.
The issue is whether the stock is topping out after a steep multi-year advance, or simply basing yet again for another thrust higher.
History says these types of weekly chart trends, below, are not sustainable without a sharp reset, though the stock did have more sideways action in 2011/12 than, say, a bonafide extended name like Union Pacific.
Still, I suspect the outcome of the current range highlighted below, should be a good tell into the end of summer and fall months as to Nike and many other consumer stocks’ next directional move.
