Below are charts for 2 of the biggest banking systems. JPMorgan (JPM) is considered the best of the big banks while Citi (C) is probably one of the worst. Their charts are similar over the last 6 months. JPM is pretty much flattish while C is also flat but with a downward slope, not able to hold $4. These charts mirror the chart for the Financial Index over the same period, bumpy but flat at best.
JPMorgan --- 6 months
Citigroup --- 6 months
