Goldman Sachs edges higher to $1,020 as Max Lukianchikov weighs credit market outlook
Goldman Sachs up 0.17% today

Goldman Sachs raised questions about whether credit markets can continue to fund the AI buildout.

Max Lukianchikov, a credit derivatives trader in Goldman Sachs Global Banking & Markets, separates the signal from the noise. Details are being clarified.

Highlights

  • GS faces near-term selling pressure, trading at 1,020.20 and consolidating at the bottom of its weekly range.
  • Oscillator signals are bearish and show the stock as oversold, despite MACD indicating strong underlying bullish momentum.
  • Next week, GS likely trades between 1,015 and 1,090, with a decisive break above 1,031 signaling a potential move toward 1,090.

Near-term selling pressure as price holds between key moving averages

GS is trading at $1,020.20, below the MA-20 ($1,060.54) but above both the MA-50 ($990.87) and MA-200 ($884.83). This setup signals near-term selling pressure, while medium- and long-term trends remain supportive for buyers. The Ichimoku Kijun at $1,031.22 stands above the current price, acting as immediate resistance. Near-term support is seen at the MA-50 ($990.87), with key support at the MA-200 ($884.83). The Kijun ($1,031.22) forms near-term resistance, while MA-20 ($1,060.54) is the next key resistance.

Divergent momentum as bullish MACD contrasts with oversold oscillators

Momentum readings are mixed: MACD on D1 signals strong bullish momentum, but ADX on D1, while favoring buyers, remains modest at 24.36. Both RSI (45.80) and CCI (–94.79) signal a mild bearish skew, and Stoch RSI and BBP clearly show the stock as oversold with dominant seller pressure. Awesome Oscillator remains neutral, adding to the divergence between upward momentum signals (MACD) and the oversold readings of oscillators. Over the past week, GS is trading at $1,020.20, up from $1,018.46, reflecting a minimal gain of 0.17%, with the price currently at the very bottom of the weekly range. Weekly volatility stands at 8.84%, and price action shows a persistent retreat from the week’s high, consistent with continued selling pressure.

Bullish outlook favored as technical signals outweigh downside risk

For the coming week, the expected trading range for GS is $1,015 to $1,090, anchored within 20% of the current price and well above the 52-week low ($691.30) but below the 52-week high ($1,121.95). Based on W1 indicators—MA-50, RSI, ADX, and MACD—all signaling Buy, the probability of a price rise is very high (more than 80%), making a decline much less likely. The baseline scenario sees GS consolidating within the $1,015–$1,090 corridor, stabilizing near recent local lows. A bullish scenario could unfold if price breaks above the immediate resistance at $1,031 and holds above $1,060, targeting a move toward $1,090. Conversely, a bearish scenario would be signaled if GS falls below near-term support at $990. In this case, a test of the $950–$990 band is likely, especially if seller momentum persists.

Previously it was reported that Goldman Sachs was expected to stabilize after facing significant short-term selling pressure, with the medium- and long-term trend remaining intact. This article adds a current perspective on market positioning, highlighting that traders should closely monitor the evolving momentum signals for any indication of a renewed directional move.
