Here are the Rest of the Top 10:
Capital One Financial (NYSE:COF)
Capital One Financial, COF, fell from a high near 82.50 in November last year finding a bottom in late January almost 30% lower. Since then it has moved higher in a couple of steps to a lower high in April. The pullback to support saw a minor bounce and now a retest. With the MACD falling and the RSI dropping and near a move into the bearish zone, it is time to look to participate to the downside on a break lower…..

Discover Financial, DFS, fell through December and January, finally finding support in February 25% lower. It ran higher from there, culminating with a gap up in April back to the November high.

Look for continuation lower Monday to participate to the downside…..

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 heading into May Options Expiration sees the equity markets continuing to look weak.
Elsewhere look for gold to consolidate in its uptrend while crude oil continues higher. The US Dollar Index looks to continue the bounce in the downtrend while US Treasuries are biased higher. The Shanghai Composite and Emerging Markets look better to the downside.
Volatility looks to remain subdued though keeping the bias higher for the equity index ETF’s SPDR S&P 500 (NYSE:SPY), iShares Russell 2000 (NYSE:IWM) and PowerShares QQQ Trust Series 1 (NASDAQ:QQQ), despite their moves lower. Their charts look better to the downside with the IWM the worst then the SPY and the QQQ with the best chance to consolidate and reverse. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.
