This Stock Has Given Investors A Serious Paper Cut: Here’s The Trade

Published 10/09/2018, 01:29 PM

International Paper Company (NYSE:IP) is a leading paper and packaging company with primary markets around the world. This stock peaked out in late January 2018 at $66.94 a share. Since that high pivot, the stock has been plunging and today it trades at $45.05 a share. This is a new 52-week low for the stock and many traders are now wondering where the bottom is for the paper-products giant.

Negative Outlook

The stock has now broken below its 200-week moving average, which is a major negative sign for the shares. Traders must now look around the $41.00 area for the next important support level. This level is an important retrace level on the chart and a spot where the stock broke out in July 2016. Often, this combination will serve as an area that will be defended by the institutional money. Please note, the company will report earnings on October 25, 2018.
