Blackstone sube un 3% en medio de una acción volátil intra-diaria: ¿qué alimenta el impulso?

Summary
• Blackstone (BX) rockets 2.99% to $158.755, piercing its 200-day average of $153.38
• Intraday range widens to $159.185 high vs. $154.85 low, signaling aggressive short-term positioning
• Options chain shows 38,323 contracts traded on the 157.5 call, the most liquid strike

Blackstone’s intraday rally has ignited a firestorm of activity in its options market, with the stock trading near its 52-week high of $190.085. The move defies its short-term bearish trend while aligning with long-term range-bound dynamics. With turnover surging to 1.95 million shares and the 200-day average acting as a psychological floor, the market is betting on a potential breakout.

Technical Rebound Gains Momentum Amid Range-Bound Dynamics
Blackstone’s 3% intraday surge reflects a technical rebound off its 200-day average of $153.38, with price action piercing the upper Bollinger Band at $157.48. The stock’s 43.37 RSI suggests oversold conditions, while the MACD histogram’s positive divergence (0.101) hints at gathering bullish momentum. Traders are capitalizing on the 153.56 middle Bollinger Band as a dynamic support level, with volume surging to 0.266% of its float. This move aligns with long-term range-bound behavior between $115.66 and $190.085, but short-term bearish indicators suggest volatility may persist.

Asset Management Sector Gains Steam as Blackstone Outpaces Peer BlackRock
The Asset Management & Custody Banks sector is showing mixed signals, with Blackstone’s 2.99% rally outpacing BlackRock’s (BLK) 1.38% gain. While BlackRock’s muted performance reflects sector-wide caution, Blackstone’s breakout above its 200-day average suggests divergent positioning. This divergence highlights Blackstone’s potential to lead a sector rotation, particularly as its 43.87 P/E ratio remains below the sector’s average of 45.3x. Investors are closely watching whether Blackstone can sustain its momentum to validate a broader sector shift.

Backtest Blackstone Stock Performance
The backtest of BX's performance after a 3% intraday increase from 2022 to now shows favorable results. The 3-day win rate is 53.40%, the 10-day win rate is 54.00%, and the 30-day win rate is 53.60%, indicating that the ETF tends to perform well in the short term following the intraday surge. The maximum return during the backtest period was 3.01%, which occurred on day 59, suggesting that there is potential for gains but also the possibility of moderate volatility.

Position for a Volatility-Driven Breakout—Act on Key Levels
Blackstone’s 3% surge reflects a technical rebound with high conviction, but sustainability hinges on holding above $157.50. Traders should monitor the 157.5 call’s liquidity and the 200-day average as critical support. With BlackRock (BLK) up 1.38%, sector rotation remains a key theme. A close above $159.185 could validate a bullish breakout, while a retest of $154.85 would signal renewed bearish pressure. Act now on the 155/157.5 call options if the stock holds above $157.50—the market is pricing in a sharp move, and time decay is accelerating.
