5 Trade Ideas For Monday: BLK, BP, GS, PAY, ROST
Dragonfly Capital | Dec 18, 2016 02:13AM ET
BlackRock Inc (NYSE:BLK)
BlackRock, was a free bonus pick 2 weeks ago, so some may still own it from the prior break out. After two moves higher the stock has been consolidating under $400, as it moves back within its Bollinger Bands®. The RSI is bullish and the MACD rising, bullish as well. Look for a push over the consolidation to participate to the upside…..
BP PLC (LON:BP)
British Petroleum has been moving in a slowly tightening consolidation since making a high in July. Five and a half months up and now 5 and a half months consolidating. Last week the price hit the top of the consolidation range and fell back. It has done this before, but this time it found support at the 50 day SMA, and reversed higher, instead of running to the bottom of the range. The RSI also reversed back higher in the bullish zone while the MACD is rising. Look for a push over resistance to participate to the upside…..
Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS)
Goldman Sachs, has had a dramatic run since the election, gaining over 40%. It looks to be a bit tired now though and in need of a pullback. The RSI is overbought and the MACD rolling over, both showing exhaustion potential. Look for a move under the recent consolidation to participate in the downside…..
Verifone Systems Inc (NYSE:PAY)
Get The News You Want
Verifone had a horrible 2nd half of 2016. A gap down in June and then consolidation followed by another gap down in September. The consolidation that followed the second gap down looks now to be turning higher though. First a higher high in November and then a move above that following its earnings report last week. The RSI is bullish and rising and the MACD moving up. Look for a continuation higher to participate to the upside…..
Ross Stores (NASDAQ:ROST)
Ross Stores, rose off of a low in June and kept going until late August. The trend then morphed to a sideways consolidation that lasted until it moved higher again in mid November. A short pullback and then a surge Friday sees the price at resistance. The RSI is rising and bullish and the MACD is turning back up. Look for a push over resistance to participate to the upside…..
Up Next: Bonus Idea
After reviewing over 1,000 charts, I have found some good setups for the week. These were selected and should be viewed in the context of the broad Market Macro picture reviewed Friday which with the FOMC and December Options Expiration in the rear view mirror, sees Equity Markets remaining strong at all-time highs with some minor digestion.
Elsewhere look for Gold to continue lower while Crude Oil is set to push higher out of consolidation. The US Dollar Index is poised for more upside while US Treasuries continue to be biased lower. The Shanghai Composite and Emerging Markets are pulling back to the downside but it looks to be a digestive move for the Chinese market.
Volatility looks to remain subdued keeping the bias higher for the equity index ETF’s SPY (NYSE:SPY), iShares Russell 2000 (NYSE:IWM) and PowerShares QQQ Trust Series 1 (NASDAQ:QQQ). All are in short term pullbacks, that look digestive for the SPY and IWM, and perhaps the QQQ as well which has at this point failed in its break out attempt. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.
