Earnings season is upon us and with the rising market, earnings expectations have followed.

US Bancorp Daily Chart
US Bancorp Daily Chart

This is especially true for the banking sector which is supposed to have well outperformed the first quarter.

The reason for such predictions can be attributed to bank's increased profits from low-interest rates enticing a wave of new mortgages and loans throughout the pandemic.

With that said, which banks have the best technical chart setups to trade from a daily perspective?

Wells Fargo And Morgan Stanley Daily Chart
Wells Fargo And Morgan Stanley Daily Chart

Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC) reported on the 14 and took off towards its 50-Day moving average at $45.46.

With such a large move, it will need to clear its major moving average as the 50-DMA represents nearby resistance to clear.

On the other hand, Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) is in a strong bullish phase and could be traded on a break to new highs.

Another bank that looks interesting is U.S. Bancorp (NYSE:USB).

However, like WFC, USB also needs to confirm a phase change over its 50-DMA at $58.53.

Note that both USB and MS report earnings pre-market on July 15..

Our stance on taking new trades in earning season is normally to wait for the company to report before taking a trade.

That makes this week a potential great opportunity to buy bank stocks as earnings is out of the way, and as laggards, should the market hold, have lots of upside potential.
