Top Trade Ideas For The Week Of June 24, 2013: Bonus Idea

Here is your Bonus Idea with links to the full Top Ten:

Boeing, Ticker: BA

Boeing, BA, has had an incredible run higher since the sequester was to cut funding for defense. Hitting a peak at 104.15 last week, it has pulled back, touching the lower Bollinger Band® before rebounding, and printing a Hammer reversal candle Friday. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is moving lower and making new 4 month lows, although holding the mid line for now with a Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator (MACD) that is moving lower. There is resistance higher at the gap from 101.86 to 102.24 and then 104.15. Support lower comes at 98.60 and 97.25 followed by 94 and 90.60, before another gap to fill to 88.06. Look both ways on this.

1. Buy the stock with a stop at 100.
2. Buy the July 100 Calls (offered at $2.59 late Friday).

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 Saturday which, heading into the first week of summer sees the markets continuing to look weak. The week may start with a bounce as they have run down pretty fast. Look for Gold to consolidate or bounce before continuing the downtrend. Crude Oil is moving lower in the prior broad channel. The U.S. Dollar Index looks ready to continue higher, while U.S. Treasuries continue lower. The Shanghai Composite and Emerging Markets are biased to the downside, with the risk of the Emerging Markets consolidating first. Volatility looks to keep drifting higher, keeping the bias lower for the equity index ETF’s SPY, IWM and QQQ. Their charts are in agreement with the IWM noticeably stronger than both the SPY and QQQ. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.
