In today’s Super Seasonals Trade of the Week we will look at The Travelers Company (TRV).

The Travelers Co., Inc. is a holding company, which engages in the provision of commercial and personal property and casualty insurance products and services.

The stock has had a ho-hum year, nothing too dramatic one way or another from a performance standpoint. From a daily technical perspective and an analyst perspective, they are both Neutral:

However, there is a solid seasonal time period that is setting up for the stock…

If we look at the last 20 plus years, there’s been 10%-30%+ moves into the year end.

Looking at a chart below there’s longer term resistance into the $180’s region.

There’s an interesting gap/support level in the $164-ish area. And it looks like it may potentially be setting up for a 3 bar reversal setup, which is a shorter-term bullish move. If it shows a momentum break above $170-ish, then it might be a good area to buy shares of the stock.

The weekly chart shows us bouncing off a channel support and pivot area…as well as trading below mean reversion value (yellow line). There appeared to be overhead resistance in the upper mid $180’s area.

On the daily chart below, we are at a support channel/pivot area, slightly below mean reversion value (yellow line). With shorter term overhead resistance in the mid-$170’S area.

In regards to potential directional debit option ideas, I do not like anything. To keep it simple, plainly put, the risk/reward on them is not attractive to me.
