Market Overview
Visa today trades at 401.73, down 2.43 (−0.60%), after a retreat from the 415.00 high, with price pressing the lower edge of a rising wedge. Fiscal fourth-quarter results are due after the close, and a forward multiple near 28x sets a high bar. The desk leans Bullish while 395.00 holds, with a long entry zone at 394.50–395.50.
Key highlights
- Bias: Bullish above 395.00; results after the close decide direction
- Levels: Resistance 410.00, 415.00, 420.00; support 395.00, 388.87, 378.72
- Event risk: Fiscal Q4 results after the 20:00 GMT close today

The long from 394.50–395.50 targets 410.00, 415.00 and 420.00 with a stop at 387.50. A daily close below 388.87 cancels it; a close above 415.00 extends the advance. The main risk is the results gap after 20:00 GMT, which can open beyond the stop.
