FCX has just gapped down below $20 producing a potential bear flag on the weekly chart. This is a good near-term trading opportunity but this is very short-term only - as earnings are due out on 22nd January. However, if the downtrend stays in play, earnings could add to the bearish momentum. It took over 18 months for price to break below the June 2013 pivot low...
JOY caught my eye because of the inverted cup and handle formation - which Friday's gap down confirmed. Initially I thought this could be a good near-term shorting opportunity because price had broken below $50 and recent support - and the measured move could've made this worth considering for a quick profit. However, on closer inspection there are a series of...
If you like shorting stock in an overall bull market DRQ offers a good opportunity. It gapped down yesterday on higher volume giving a good signal to take a near-term sell. This stock is already in a solid downtrend, trading below the 200dma. It recently formed a double top in a downtrend, broke recent support and retested it - and now it has gapped down on...
There are a lot of energy stocks, which have gapped down, on our list today. Many provide near-term sell opportunities but I felt the best of them was NBL. Looking at pivot highs and lows on the weekly chart, NBL seemed to have plenty of room to manoeuvre (about 800 points before the next major support). The daily gap down (on higher volume) broke below...
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...
There are three reasons why I am not looking to take any new trades today. Yesterday was a bank holiday in the US, today is apparently a half trading day, and finally it's the last trading day of the month. To me this means volatility may be affected and I'd rather stand aside than get whipsawed. However, if I were to take a near-term short opportunity the set up...
For a long-term trade DRN is not a great shorting stock. It closed yesterday at $10.01 so there is not to much further for it to fall. But with the gap down on higher volume a quick short could be on the cards. Price has just managed to close below the 2001 pivot low of $10.20, but remains marginally above the $10 round number and I would've liked to have seen a...
If you're looking for a sell opportunity then DDD looks promising. The decline has been steep since the high (which didn't quite touch $100) at the end of 2013. On the weekly chart price looks almost certain to end the week below the 200ma. If this does occur then a shorting opportunity may present itself (although we should wait one more trading day just to be...
MDRX has been in a messy downtrend for a few weeks so Friday's gap down, on the earnings announcements, did not come as a surprise. As volume was also up there is a good probability that the bear move will continue. However, because the trend is not very neat and because there is support at $8.84 this is a near-term shorting opportunity only. That still gives a...
Kors is high-growing company with EPS for the past 5 years 130%. So, if it misses or meets with expactations on its report that will be soon on August 5th, it may frustrate investors and trigger further selling. Technically, it pierced psychological mark $100, but failed to close above, from hwere it sold off. It found support at $86 that was recently broken with...
After V-shape move off the bottom on February, stock formed double top at $91.62 and sold off from there with two gap downs (means strength of sellers). I will us gap pivot point as stop/ Until it stays below $87, I am bearish. Price is below key moving averages. You can manage this trade in different ways I use active trade management. Enter with tier1 in this...
Following 2 green days and the overall market strength; I still see room for continuation. I will be watching for a gap up or strong open to break the $ 1.16 - $ 1.20 area. If it holds above $ 1.20 after a test for support on strong volume; I think we see a push for a gap fill to the $ 2.00 area.
This airline company found strong resistance zone at $48-$49. Bounced off it very agressively with gap down zone from $44 to $45 which is powerful sign that sellers keep control on price. From fundamental point of view there is tension in Iraq - one of the biggest supplier of Oil in the worls. Break in supplies leads to higher prices and then higher costs for...
EBAY is on my short list. As it trades below all key moving averages including the most important one 200 EMA, means that bears in control despite storng market and technology sector as well. Earlier it failed to hold above $58 (breakout point) and definitely it is not a good sign for buyers. Ebay gapped down on earnings on 30th of April with pivot resistance at...
