The weekly OBV line shows weakness in recent weeks following a prolonged rise. The weekly MACD oscillator has been in a bearish mode from early January.
In this Point and Figure chart of MHK, below, we can see the big decline so far this year. This chart still has a downside price target of $102.44.
Bottom line strategy: The decline in the price of MHK this year has been pretty relentless. Bounces have been limited and short-lived and that bearish pattern could well continue as we have to look way back to 2014 for any chart support. The $100 area is the next big Point and Figure price target. Buyers of MHK need to sit on their hands.
