Technical Analysis:

#JPMorgan share price remains supported above 100-day SMA and the bottom line of ascending channel. The asset forms an ATH in late August, at $225.46. Together with $222 (FE 61.8%), these two price levels form the nearest resistance zone. A break above the zone as well as the top line of ascending channel may encourage the bulls to challenge the next resistance, at $235. On the other hand, a break below the said support may indicate technical correction, with focus on the next support at $178 (FR 38.2%).
