BLK faces headwinds despite reset expectations; downtrend likely continues
BlackRock is down 10.7% in 1 month and 19.7% from 52-week highs, trading below both MA20 and MA50 in a clear downtrend. Analyst consensus is bearish (0 upgrades / 2 downgrades) with negative estimate revisions (-0.4%), and the options market shows heavy put buying (P/C 1.84). While sell-the-news probability is low at 30% due to reset expectations, the combination of severe negative momentum, bearish analyst sentiment, elevated P/E of 27.8, and defensive positioning suggests the stock is likely to remain under pressure through and after earnings.
