Comerica Incorporated, through its subsidiaries, provides financial products and services primarily in Texas, Arizona, California, Florida, and Michigan. The company operates in three segments: Business Bank, Retail Bank, and Wealth Management.

The Wealth Management segment provides products and services, including fiduciary services, private banking, retirement services, investment management and advisory services, and investment banking and brokerage services. Please take a look at the 1 yr. chart of CMA (Comerica Incorporated) that I have shown below with my added notations: CMA CMA has formed a long channel upward over the last (8) months. A channel is simply formed through the combination of a trend line support that runs parallel to a trend line resistance.  When it comes to a channel any (3) points can start the channel, but it’s the 4th test and beyond that confirm it. You can see that CMA has multiple test points between the channel resistance (blue) and the channel support (red). Following the CMA channel can provide you with both long and short trading opportunities.

The Tale of the Tape: CMA has formed a common chart pattern know as a channel, in this case, an up-channel. A long opportunity could be entered on a pullback to the channel support, which is approaching $40. Short trades could be entered at channel resistance OR if CMA were to break below the channel support.
