Visa Inc. (NYSE:V)is consolidating or trading sideways on Wednesday. But it may soon go into a new uptrend.
As you can see on the chart, Visa is at a very well-defined support level. Some stocks head higher after they stop falling at support levels. This is why it is our Stock of the Day.
Support is a price, or price range, in a market where there is a large amount of buy interest. It could be from institutional traders and investors or retail traders and investors. It is impossible to know, but the good thing is that it doesn't matter.
Sometimes, some of these investors or traders become impatient. They get sick and tired of waiting for a seller to come to them. As a result, they increase the prices they are willing to pay.
This can shake up the market if other impatient traders and investors see it and do the same thing. It could result in a bidding war that can force the price higher.
As you can see on the chart, Visa is sitting on support right around the $304 level. You can also see that this level was support for the stock in April 2025.
After it rallied off the level then a number of people who sold at the support decided that doing so was a mistake. Some of them vowed that they would buy their shares back if they could ever get them for their selling price.
When Visa fell back to this level, they placed buy orders. There were so many of these buy orders that it created support at the price level again.
Stocks tend to reverse and rally after they drop to support levels. This happened the last two times Visa reached $304, and it may happen once more.
