AI Summary

Sell NowMedium

WSBC remains in a long-term uptrend but has suffered a terminal support failure, indicating medium-term downward asymmetry. Price is trading just below the short-term EMAs and pulling back toward the 50-day SMA, with momentum weakening and RSI nearing oversold. Given the support breach, the medium-term bias is bearish and short-term timing favors selling now. A decisive reclaim and hold above the 20-day EMA would invalidate this bearish medium-term view.

Bull points

  • we would expect to continue to see upward momentum on average earning assets due to that continued improvement. We certainly expect those yields on earning assets to continue to increase.
  • I believe you'll start seeing some good contribution toward the end of this year, but I think 2025 is where you'll really see some nice pickup contribution from all of our new treasury opportunities that we're working on.
  • But no, we believe it's going to be very significant, not only from a fee-based generation but also deposit gathering opportunity as well. But that's one of our key priorities this year that we feel like we started off really strong so far, and I feel like by the end of the year, it will be a significant portion of our fee business.

Bear points
