Torchmark (TMK) - The technical chart looks bad. The MACD indicator is way below its signal line showing a bearish bias. There is no divergence in the MACD with respect to price movement, so it is not logical to expect a sustainable rebound at this level, even trading near the major support. ADX is at value of 46 and with -DI above +DI, it indicates a continuation of the downtrend. The RSI indicators is in oversold territory, but stocks that are in a downtrend will stay in oversold region for extended duration before rebounding. From now, with fundamentals weak and technical chart not showing any sign of rebound, it is best to avoid the stock until a clearer picture emerges. Stay tuned on TMK.
