Bottom line
AXP is trading at a premium to its history, in the middle of its recent price range, and recent volume suggests money flowing out. Historically, this combination has called for extra caution. Past patterns are not a guarantee of future results.
Valuation — Above its usual book-value multiple (Red)
For financial companies we look at price versus book value. AXP trades at 6.6× book value, against its own typical 5.4× while earning a 34% return on equity. Its current multiple sits around the 72nd percentile of its own last five years — toward the high end of its own range.
Price zones — In the middle of its recent range (Yellow)

Over the past year AXP has traded between $290.97 and $387.49; its historical support zone sits near $290.97 and resistance near $337.50. It is below both its 50- and 200-day averages, which has historically signalled a downtrend.

一句话结论
AXP 相对自身历史处于溢价水平，处于近期价格区间的中部，近期成交量显示资金正在流出。从历史来看，这样的组合需要格外谨慎。过去的形态并不能保证未来的结果。
估值 — 高于其惯常的市净率水平
对金融公司，我们看的是价格与账面价值的关系。AXP 的市净率为 6.6×，而它自身惯常的水平是 5.4×，同时取得 34% 的净资产收益率。它当前的估值倍数大约位于自身过去五年分布的第 72 百分位——处于自身区间的偏高位置。
价格区间 — 处于近期区间的中部
目前价格为 $324.19，位于其近期的支撑位与阻力位之间。过去一年 AXP 的价格在 $290.97 到 $387.49 之间波动；其历史支撑区在 $290.97 附近，阻力区在 $337.50 附近。它同时位于 50 日和 200 日均线下方，这在历史上通常对应下降趋势。
资金流向 — 资金正在流出
AXP 近期下跌日的成交量高于上涨日，这种形态常被称为派发。过去 30 个交易日，上涨日的成交量约为下跌日的 0.7×。
