After sifting through the charts that my scans produced this weekend there are a couple of things that stand out. First and most obvious is the fact that last week's market action took it's toll on many of the stocks that I was watching as long candidates. Second... a lot of the prices are approaching their 50 period MAs and some have now fallen below all three moving averages. I have 3 times as many short setups as long this week. Am I cheering you up at all? I'm going to start looking more at short positions than long now but always with an eye on the exits if we get a sharp reversal during the week. Here are some of the setups for the week ahead:
$CSU Most of the stocks in this sector sold off Thursday and Friday. This one acted well. Lower volume on a pullback; good volume on recovery. Long over 9.75.
$DPZ Finally broke above the 17.50 but still needs follow through on volume. MACD/RSI are confirming.
$MW Trying to fill December gap. Good volume on B/O; MACD/RSI curling up; blue sky on weekly over 28.65.
$AMAT Below 50MA and previous support at 15. Likes 15 to 15.10 price area. Volume, MACD/RSI all say down. Support at 14 then 13.
$ATML Gap down on Thursday; tried to fill Friday. Volume, MACD/RSI confirming breakdown. Weekly points lower; support at 10.65 then 8.
$HL Short below 8.50 on volume. Not much support until 7. MACD/RSI pointing down.
$LCRY Break on volume; MACD/RSI confirming down; price below all MAs. Short on any retest of break at 12.93.
$OPK Breaking down on huge volume; low volume retest; MACD/RSI confirming. Short below 3.50. Support at 3.00 then 2.
$ZAGG Broke support with volume. Trending lower below all MAs. Short below 7.50 on volume. Into the vacuum after that. Earnings on Monday AMC.
But wait, there's more... well, there is but I think I've given the folks enough to chew on. Got a feeling we're in for more chop this week. Way too much happening in the world for calm and order.
Trade smart this week... see you all on the stream.
