Although looking a bit choppy, the bigger picture on Gold still shows an uptrend with higher highs and higher lows. Price has touched the floor at ~1180 and rejected the trend line for a third time giving a bullish engulfing and doji bar yesterday, together with rejecting the 0.786 Fibonacci level and closing above it. Stochastic and RSI are in convergence and are...
AUDUSD on a daily chart, closed with a doji and it's on the strong support level, breaking of 0.784th level will go long all the way to 0.0804
JLL yesterday gapped up on higher volume and a good earnings report. But it hasn't yet comfortably cleared the recent pivot high of 2nd April. I last looked at JLL 5 months ago in November 2014. The analysis suggested price would be heading higher - which it has done. But some of the pullbacks have been a little deeper than a trend trader would have liked -...
The GBPUSD has been ranging for a just over a month now but this choppy consolidation began to show signs of movement again by the end of last week. This week we have finally seen some real movement and it appears to be ending with a nice little set-up. There is some heavy resistance on the Bullish side with the 50ema laying on thee 1.5000 level, which has acted...
The Russell 2000 boasts a whopping 89.27 P/E ratio and a dividend ratio of 1.36 percent. There actually is sometime that pays less than a US 10Y (for now). Seemingly an index that is traded off of technicals, traders could see today's rapid pullback as the beginning to a larger correction. After a double-doji top, the Russell 2000 could not expand upon all-time...
MNK is not a stock I would normally consider as it only has data going back 18 months or so. However, it has been trending up that whole time and, since passing the $100 figure, has begun to trend well. Prior to breaking above $100 the pullbacks were quite deep - frequently breaching the daily 50ma. But as price approached, and tested, this zone the 50ma began to...
Case for entry short: bearish doji bar close; retest/rejection of resistance at ~1.5025; and 0.618 Fibonacci level rejection and close below entry - below doji close stop - above doji close target - ~1.4830 (weekly support level and also 1.272 Fibonacci extension level)
RSI is extremely oversold on MONTHLY. January couldn't close below 61.8% Fibonacci. Once Feb will close around 1.13 we can see possible reverse up as it will be ideal morning star with Doji. But nonetheless the trend is still bearish. Move up can only indicate correction (maybe to relax RSI) Watch 1.12/1.21 as medium term range. Intelligent trades!
FSL gapped up for a second time on Friday and has now comfortably cleared the 2014 high. As this stock has not been trading for long it is more difficult to gauge how relevant the recent gaps have been. Certainly they both exhibited higher volume. But neither bar was bullish, which is preferred for a gap up. So saying, the current uptrend (established in early...
for those who like to trade price action - nice double doji setup on 8 hour chart, tight stop - commodity currencies can't find buyers,
Earnings season can be quite frustrating but with BAH we only have to wait for today's session to close before we can reassess it's worth. The earnings announcement is due before the markets open. This stock hasn't been trading very long, so is not one I would normally consider. Volume is also low so for that reason I will most probably rule it out - for now....
EW has been on my watchlist for sometime. It was a great trending stock throughout 2014 but became of real interest when it it gapped up above the 2012 pivot high in October last year. Since October it has continued to trend up well, with several bullish flags but, over the Christmas period, has gone into a mini-range. This mini-range could well be a double...
GGP has fallen a long way from it's 2007 high but has been steadily creeping up since bottoming out in 2009. This stock started to trade above the daily 200ma earlier this year but was still not displaying the hallmarks of a strong trend. The pullbacks, while not excessively deep, were quite prolonged and kept retesting the 2013 pivot high. Since September we...
Until earlier this year RCL had been in consolidation since 1999. After price finally broke above $58.88 a good trend began to develop but was seriously hindered by the October pullback. This breached the 1999 pivot high and the 200dma but it was not all bad news - a cup and handle chart formation developed on the daily chart suggesting a move to the upside...
FDX has been moving up since it's 2009 low but took some time to regain the ground lost from the 2007 high - with a long period of consolidation along the way. Since breaking above the 2007 high ($121.42) late in 2013 price has still struggled to fall into a linear trend. However once price broke - and retested - the $150 zone a smoother trend has developed. In...
RIG has been bearish since the 2008 high, so with the last bar gapping down on higher volume a near-term sell opportunity looks like a good play. Price had been going mostly sideways, since the end of 2012, offering a strong support at around $38. When this was broken and retested (turning support into resistance) in August/September 2014 a new bear trend began...
SBAC has been on a strong bull run since the beginning of 2012 and began to be of interest when it broke above $60 later that year. However, trading it from the daily would have required quite wide stops to accommodate the frequent, fairly prolonged and deep pullbacks. The set-up in the last few days looks promising but I would want to wait and see a more linear...
ROST could offer a good near-term buy on Fridays' gap up on higher volume. The bar was very bullish - adding to the momentum to the upside - and easily cleared the 2013 pivot high. For longer-term traders, however, the large gap up could easily be filled - so we would want to see some sort of pullback or retest of the 2013 high before considering this a buy...
