Homestreet's 15min chart triggers Bollinger Bands Narrowing, Bearish Marubozu signal.

The 15-minute chart for HomeStreet has triggered a narrowing of Bollinger Bands, accompanied by a bearish Marubozu at 08/25/2025 13:30. This indicates a decrease in the magnitude of stock price fluctuations, suggesting that sellers are currently in control of the market and bearish momentum is likely to persist.

On August 25, 2025, at 13:30, HomeStreet Inc's (HMST) 15-minute chart exhibited significant technical indicators that suggest a bearish market trend. The chart showed Bollinger Bands Narrowing, indicating a reduction in the magnitude of stock price fluctuations. This narrowing, combined with the formation of a Bearish Marubozu pattern, signals that sellers currently dominate the market and bearish momentum is likely to persist [1].

The Bearish Marubozu pattern, characterized by a long white body with no shadows, further supports this bearish sentiment. This pattern suggests strong selling pressure and a high likelihood of continued bearish momentum [2]. The Bollinger Bands Narrowing indicates that the stock's price volatility has decreased, which often signals a consolidation phase before a potential trend change.

Technical indicators such as the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) and KDJ (Stochastic Oscillator) also contributed to this bearish outlook. The MACD crossed below its signal line, signaling a potential decline when the short-term moving average crosses below the long-term moving average [1]. Additionally, the KDJ Death Cross, where the Kijun Senkou Span crossed below the Tenkan Senkou Span, indicated a shift in momentum towards the downside [1].

Despite these bearish signals, HomeStreet Inc's financial performance has shown positive results. The company's Form 10-Q report for the second quarter of 2025 highlighted Total Interest and Dividend Income at $127.3 million, a slight decrease from the previous period, primarily due to lower interest income from loans. Net Interest Income increased to $87.1 million, driven by a reduction in interest expense. The company's net income for the period was $31.7 million, an improvement over the previous period, attributed to higher net interest income and effective cost management [3].

Investors should closely monitor these technical indicators for any signs of a potential reversal. The recent narrowing of Bollinger Bands and the formation of a Bearish Marubozu pattern suggest that HMST's price action is likely to remain volatile and bearish in the near term [2].
