<\/figure>\n\n\n\nYesterday, news emerged that one of the industry\u2019s giants, Blue Owl Capital, had forcibly liquidated $1.4 billion in loan assets from three of its private credit funds and permanently suspended withdrawals from those funds (which were indeed targeted at retail investors).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This development has raised further concerns about the soundness of a market inflated by years of abundant liquidity and, at the same time, has weighed on the broader financial sector. Let us briefly look at the largest U.S. bank, JP Morgan Chase, generally characterized by its strong focus on maintaining a robust balance sheet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TECHNICAL ANALYSIS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n JPM, like several other stocks, is trading near its all-time highs, yet it has nevertheless struggled to advance convincingly for several months. From lows around $280 in early July, yesterday\u2019s close was $308.5, while the absolute highs were reached at $336 earlier this year (01\/05).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Price has settled along a rising trendline, albeit with a very shallow slope, and has repeatedly found support there. As recently as last Friday, the stock opened below that trendline but quickly attracted sufficient bid interest to be pushed back above the area in question. Meanwhile, technical indicators have cooled off, and the RSI\u2014currently at 47\u2014shows a clear and prolonged divergence, which is not a constructive technical signal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To the upside, there are two important technical levels at $312 and $318.5, which act as resistance before what appears to be the beginning of a bearish trendline, currently positioned around $322.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A close below $300 in the coming sessions would be technically negative and would immediately put the nearby support around $294 to the test. Only below that level would we see more pronounced downside pressure, initially toward $282.50 and then $269.<\/p>\n\n\n\n More broadly, while the banking sector has been a significant contributor to the latter stages of this market rally, valuations, latent risks, and a trajectory of declining interest rates suggest a degree of long-term caution is warranted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It was another negative day, albeit only slightly so on Wall Street, but this time the \u201cnovelty\u201d was that the […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":104002,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[2932],"tags":[1268,1269,1267,1266],"class_list":["post-110255","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-technical","tag-banking","tag-financials","tag-jp-morgan-chae","tag-jpm"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/insights.onequity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/20Feb-JPM.png\")
