The Carlyle Group (CG) shares advanced 4.66% to $62.90 in the latest session, trading between $60.60 and $63.67 on volume of 4.13 million shares. This decisive breakout suggests potential continuation of the recovery from recent lows. Technical indicators are assessed as follows:
Candlestick Theory Price action established solid support near $58.90 (August 4 low), aligning with the July consolidation zone ($57.29–$59.47). The August 6 bullish candle closed near its high after a 4.66% surge, reinforcing $63.75 (July 25 peak) as critical resistance. A confirmed close above $63.75 would signal resumption of the primary uptrend, while failure here may retest the $60.00 psychological support.
Moving Average Theory The 50-day MA ($58.20) crossed bullishly above the 100-day MA ($55.80) in mid-June, creating a Golden Cross that precedes the 200-day MA ($49.40). August’s pullback found buyers near the ascending 50-day MA, maintaining the bullish structure. Current price trades above all key MAs, confirming the long-term uptrend. A sustained hold above the 50-day MA would reinforce bullish momentum.
MACD & KDJ Indicators MACD histogram turned positive on August 6 following a bullish crossover, signaling recovering momentum after the -7.5% July pullback. KDJ exited oversold territory (J-line: 25 on August 4) to reach 65 on August 6, supporting near-term upside. Confluence between MACD’s momentum shift and KDJ’s rebound from oversold strengthens the bullish case, though J-line >80 would warrant caution for overbought conditions.
Bollinger Bands Bands expanded sharply (+18% width) during the August 6 breakout, reflecting elevated volatility supportive of directional moves. Price rebounded from the lower band ($58.90) to tag the upper band ($63.30), confirming volatility-driven momentum. A sustained close above the upper band would indicate exceptional strength but increases near-term mean-reversion probability.
Volume-Price Relationship Distribution days marked the July decline (volume spikes on down days), but August’s reversal saw volume expand +122% during the rally from August 4–6 versus the prior three down days. This accumulation pattern validates the breakout. However, August 6 volume remained 15% below the July 25 swing high, introducing mild divergence that warrants monitoring.
Relative Strength Index (RSI) The 14-day RSI rebounded sharply from near-oversold (34 on August 4) to neutral (58 on August 6), reflecting robust momentum recovery. Notably, August’s higher low in price against RSI’s higher low demonstrated bullish divergence, foreshadowing the rebound. While not overbought (>70), the RSI’s 24-point surge in two sessions suggests potential near-term consolidation.
Fibonacci Retracement Applying Fib levels to the May–July rally ($42.04–$63.75), the 23.6% retracement ($58.63) provided precise support at the August 4 low ($58.90). This shallow retracement signifies underlying strength. Key upside targets include the 127.2% extension ($69.50) upon clearing $63.75. The 38.2% level ($55.46) marks secondary support should volatility resurge.
Confluence Note Multiple indicators align at $58.60–$59.00 (50-day MA,
lower band, Fib 23.6%), creating high-probability support. The breakout above $62.00 now sees convergence between MACD/KDJ momentum signals, volume confirmation, and RSI recovery. The sole divergence remains volume’s underperformance relative to July’s peak, suggesting cautious monitoring of follow-through buying.
