Bad News for Bank of America, Says Market Timer Frank Kollar

(financialwire.net via COMTEX) -- BAC | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- October 9, 2008 (FinancialWire) (By Frank Kollar) Shares of Bank of America (NYSE: BAC | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating) have taken a precipitous drop in the last few trading days, bringing shares close to a support level that spells do-or-die.

BAC closed Wednesday, October 8, at $22.10 a share, down from $38.13 a share only five days ago. It is just below this level where things get dicey.

There is an obvious support level at $20 a share, the July lows. Just below, at $18.15 a share, is the 2000 bear market low. This constitutes a huge support level, and the loss of eight years of gains.

Our analysis is based on chart actions only, but should BAC make a decisive close below $18.15 a share, we could see the start of a decline and fate similar to Wachovia, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, etc.
