This is exactly why it pays to follow companies that host an investor day…

In the company’s investor day presentation today, JPMorgan Chase (NYSE: JPM) CEO Jamie Dimon raised the bank’s outlook for NII, which stands for net interest income.

Specifically, the banking giant said that it now expects its 2022 NII to come in around $56 billion, which is $3 billion above the guidance it provided just a month ago.

Wall Street Translation: The recent market storm clouds may soon dissipate.

In response, shares of JPMorgan Chase began a premarket rally that extended into the afternoon.

Prior to this bounce, shares of JPMorgan had hit a new 18-month low and were down 25% year to date.

This raises the question…

Did JPMorgan (and in turn other financials) just call the market bottom?

Judging from the five-month chart below, JPMorgan still has a lot of work to do in order to reverse its latest downside move.

Pushing back above its 50-day moving average (around $129) would be a strong first step.

But recoveries take time, and they have to start with some form of positive trigger catalyst. This just might be it.

Action Plan: Wall Street desperately needed some good news – and today, JPMorgan delivered. With so many oversold stocks – especially in the financial sector – there are many strong ways to play this, including Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS), Wells Fargo (NYSE: WFC), Citigroup (NYSE: C), Bank of America (NYSE: BAC) and others.
