What Technical Analysis Says About eToro Shares

Although the rebound is evident, eToro shares continue to consolidate at historic lows. According to my technical analysis, only a return above the $48 level would relieve some selling pressure and open the path back to July's highs just above $53.

I would expect full pressure relief only above $58, where the first significant technical support ran along the May and June lows. This would mean, however, that eToro shares would need to rebound 24% from current levels.

How did eToro perform on Tuesday compared to its competitors? Warsaw-listed XTB fell 1.8% that day, while London-based Plus500 and CMC Markets declined 1.34% and 1.36%, respectively.
