With the trading day about halfway over, the markets were trading sideways yet again, and it seems like the major averages may be stuck on this plateau. Oil dipped back below $70 but there are still many bulls seeing a resurgence. Bitcoin was up massively on the day, bouncing way back from the lows earlier this week. The S&P 500, Nasdaq and Dow Jones industrial average were all practically flat, with no real gains or losses to speak of.
24/7 Wall St. is reviewing some big analyst calls seen on Wednesday. We have included the latest analyst call on each stock, as well as a recent trading history and the consensus targets among analysts.
