Fund accumulation rises as institutional investor boosts stake

Nordea Investment Management AB increased its holdings in American Express by 6.2% during the fourth quarter, bringing its total to 2,474,363 shares.

Bullish intraday gap up contradicts persistent negative momentum

Momentum indicators on the daily chart remain largely bearish, as MACD signals a strong sell and ADX indicates an ongoing directional move favoring sellers. Daily RSI and CCI both show near-oversold conditions, while Stoch RSI is neutral; BBP further confirms seller dominance with an oversold reading. Despite this, the price has advanced 3.02% today, opening well above the previous close and currently trading near the daily high within a moderately volatile range. The session started with a clear gap up, and intraday action shows persistent strength toward day highs — contradicting the prevailing negative momentum and oscillators, which creates a notable divergence.

Downside favored as narrow trading range limits bullish potential

For the next five trading days, the expected price range is $290 to $315, reflecting typical volatility for a blue-chip stock like American Express. The probability of a price increase is very low (less than 20%), making a decline more likely. Baseline scenario: the price consolidates sideways, tracking between recent highs and lows. A bullish scenario could be realized if the price breaks above the immediate resistance at $325.14 and holds, targeting further upside. A bearish scenario may unfold if the price drops below support near today’s lows and extends losses, particularly if selling momentum accelerates.

Anton Kharitonov, Traders Union expert, sees sellers in firm control as American Express trades below all key moving averages. He notes that technical and momentum signals remain bearish, even as some institutional demand appears through Nordea’s increased holdings. The analyst believes today’s gap up is not enough to reverse the dominant negative trend, especially with resistance overhead at $325.14. "Until American Express reclaims $325.14, my tactical stance stays defensive, and any upside move is just noise within a bigger downtrend."

Earlier, analysts noted that American Express remained under persistent selling pressure, with technical signals favoring continued consolidation and a weak bias among investors. The current outlook maintains this cautious tone, but traders should closely monitor for a potential break above $325.14, which could signal a shift in momentum toward sustained upside.
