BofA (BAC) Shares Push Below $8 for First Time Since Mid March

May 3, 2012 12:04 PM EDT Send to a Friend
Shares of BofA (NYSE: BAC) pushed below technical support at $8 just ahead of the noon hour Thursday. The stock is currently down more than 2.3 percent.

This morning's move follows a 1.8 percent decline on Wednesday. Although the stock price pushed above resistance at $8.20 several times, shares closed the session under this level.

The stock opened this morning's session very modestly higher, however worse-than-expected ISM non-manufacturing data for the month of April had traders selling stocks, pushing BofA shares below $8.10 and subsequently below $8. This level has previously served as a significant battleground for bulls and bears.

The last time BofA shares traded under $8 was March 12th.
