Best Buy (BBY) reports earnings May 29 before the bell, and let’s just say analysts aren’t exactly brimming with optimism.

Monthly Chart
On the monthly chart we can see that after setting its $141.97 all time high price back in 2021 price fell dramatically, bounced like a dead cat, and has since faded back to the downside the past several months.
Along the way price crossed a change control zone (long gray rectangle) roughly between $70 to $76 17 times the past 3+ years and 34 times since 2018.
Change control zones are one of the five price action tools we teach when charting anything. By definition, they are an area that represents where neither the bulls nor bears are in charge. Price can slash through the zone with seemingly reckless abandon, price can respect the top or bottom from outside it or within it. Or, price can trade aimlessly sideways within it. When price breaks away from the zone it can often get drawn back to it like a magnet. And in this case we see all of the above are true.
This kind of movement highlights why a cautious and well-informed approach is essential when evaluating a stock’s short to mid term outlook.
Weekly Chart
On the weekly chart, we can see with much more clarity the volatile cycles up and down while crossing the change control zone in an EKG like pattern...
Most recently price crossed the zone twice the last two weeks and we shouldn't be surprised if that continues to happen post earnings.
It goes without saying though, the only guarantee in the markets is that price cycles. It cycles up and it cycles down across all time frames and all charts and rarely, if ever, moves in a straight line.
Only time will tell for sure what price will do next...
We’ve combined Fibonacci levels with key support/resistance zones and trend analysis to pinpoint potential price levels of interest and future targets.
