Highlights

  • BNS exhibits a confirmed long-term bullish trend but confronts short-term caution as shares trade below key moving averages.
  • Strong upside momentum persists according to MACD and ADX, though several oversold indicators reflect ongoing intraday selling pressure.
  • BNS is projected to trade between C$120.83 and C$125.31 with a bullish bias and 64% probability of upside.

Seller pressure persists despite strong momentum signals

BNS shares are trading below the MA-20 but above the MA-50 on the hourly chart, while significantly exceeding the MA-200. The Ichimoku Kijun level at C$123.03 functions as immediate support for now. On the indicator front, MACD indicates strong upward momentum, further corroborated by ADX, though the RSI sits at 48.38, entering oversold territory. Oversold signals also register on Stoch RSI, CCI, and BBP, indicating that seller dominance persists intraday, even as the Awesome Oscillator remains neutral.

Bullish tilt emerges as price holds within volatility band

Over the next several days, BNS is likely to remain within a typical volatility band between C$120.83 and C$125.31. With an up probability of 64%, a continued bullish tilt is favored. The baseline scenario is for price to move sideways in this corridor. A sustained breakout above resistance may trigger further gains, while a drop below current support could initiate additional selling.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees The Bank of Nova Scotia showing constructive signals despite a lack of fresh news. He notes mixed short-term momentum, with key supports holding and bullish probabilities prevailing in the current trading range. The analyst believes macro and sentiment factors still favor a sideways-to-up bias. "I expect BNS to stay resilient above support, so I’m prepared for an upward move if resistance near C$125.31 breaks."

Earlier, analysts noted that Scotiabank was displaying ongoing relative price strength supported by positive technical signals and strategic initiatives. The current evidence of persistent short-term volatility and seller pressure adds a new dimension, suggesting that traders should monitor whether renewed oversold conditions could prompt a reversal or test support at the Ichimoku Kijun level in the days ahead.
