Is now a good time to buy the REVLON 388?
Worth waiting on this one, if you can. Currently observed at $16.88, its standard shelf price. It's been steady at baseline for 30 weeks — and looking across the past 2 years, quiet stretches here have tended to last around 9 weeks before a pull back arrives, give or take. When one does, price has come down about 32.4%, and the window stays open something like 9 weeks. Put together, we'd expect the next one about 1–2 weeks from now, somewhere near $12.84. That's a read, not a promise. But if REVLON 388 isn't urgent, the odds favour holding off.
