How does the share look chart-wise? (USD converted into euros) 📈📉
Chart-wise, the stock unfortunately doesn't look that great the last few months. In November 2022, the share had its high at 170.00€. This mark is now a resistance. After this zone was approached, it went downhill and the first support zone at 160.00 € was approached. However, this was also quickly broken through and now acts as a strong resistance. This has now been approached several times, but the share was sold off directly to this mark. A very important resistance is currently at just under 150 €. This has now also been approached several times, but not broken through. Important support zones are currently at just under 135.00 € and 133.00 €. Currently still holds the zone at 135.00 € but I am curious how long. Perhaps the share now also gets again aufwind and goes slowly back to resistance at 150.00 €.

How does the stock look chart-wise? (USD converted into euros) 📈📉
Let's take a look at this company chart-wise as well. In recent weeks, the share has tried three times to get above the 116€ mark. Unfortunately, it did not succeed in doing so. There we have a very strong resistance. After the third attempt, the share was also sold off well at this price and has tried to form a first bottom at just under 110 €. Unfortunately, this did not succeed. Very important, this zone is now considered resistance. Now the next support zone is in sight. This lies at just under 105 €. If this does not hold and is also sustainably broken through, the next support zone is waiting. This would be at just under 100 €.
My conclusion: 📝
As always, I find both companies very exciting and I don't have either of them in my portfolio yet. Especially with Bager Meter, I am now looking closely at the zones and will possibly venture a short-term or long-term trade when the time comes.
