Buyers of Assurant Inc. (AIZ) stocks have started new positions from an area known as the blue box, targeting prices between $250 and $260 during a bullish trend. Assurant, based in Atlanta, offers risk management and insurance services for global housing and lifestyle markets. They operate in over 20 countries and partner with major financial institutions and retailers. The bullish trend for AIZ began in November 2008 at $12.52 and peaked in February 2020 at $146.21, before experiencing a correction. The upcoming wave (III) could reach between $287 and $417, with recent price movements indicating that wave ((1)) of III is complete, leading to a target range of $330–$380 for wave ((3)). Since April 2025, the bullish activity has continued, with prices maintaining strong structures and completing waves (1) and (2) of ((3)). The buying interest from the blue box has led to a potential price move toward $250–$285, with possibilities of even higher prices. Early signs suggest a broader wave extension toward the $300–$330 range. On December 14, 2025, renewed buying interest was evident, initiating wave ((i)) of 3 of (3). Buyers from the blue box may want to think about taking profits while looking for new buying opportunities on dips, especially as the target nears $250. New positions could be pursued after a break above the wave 1 high. With Assurant (AIZ) showing recent price action, we should see a bounce from the early December support zone as confirmation of the consistent bullish trend. Buyers defended the $221.70–$216.26 area last week, as expected. This rebound keeps the immediate price target of $250 in sight. For traders who took long positions at that support zone, it’s wise to manage risk and secure some gains. Consider taking partial profits as the price approaches $245, and adjust the stop-loss on the remaining position to the breakeven point to eliminate risk. Those seeking new entries should be patient and wait for a clear sign of strength. The goal now is to wait for the price to break above the recent high from early December. After that breakout, look to buy on the next small pullback or consolidation, as this often provides a lower-risk entry point. This positive outlook is backed by the wider economic context. Last week’s November Consumer Price Index (CPI) report showed a decline to 2.8% year-over-year, suggesting the Federal Reserve may be done with its tightening measures. A stable or declining interest rate environment typically eases pressure on financial services firms and supports stock valuations. Market sentiment is also improving, with the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) dropping below 15 for the first time since late 2024. This shows reduced fear among investors and a stronger appetite for risk assets. Historically, periods of low volatility after a market correction, like the one in 2023, often lead to significant upward trends in stocks. If the price moves to the $250-$260 range in the coming weeks, it would confirm the larger wave structure. It would indicate that the next major uptrend, targeting the $330–$380 area, is beginning. Options traders might consider buying call spreads to take advantage of this anticipated upward movement while managing risk.
