Watch For A Breakout Above Monday’s Inside Day Chart Pattern
Michele Schneider | Feb 07, 2022 11:30PM ET
Monday mainly showed consolidation within the major indices. The Russell 2000 (IWM) spent most of its time within Friday’s price range along with the S&P 500 (SPY) and the NASDAQ 100 (QQQ) having inside day chart patterns.
Along with the stock markets’ inconclusive price action, the High Yield Corporate debt ETF (JNK) was confirming that the best plan for trading is to wait for Tuesday.
Looking at the above chart of the JNK ETF, we can see an inside day chart pattern was created from Monday’s trading range fitting inside the trading range from last Friday.
With that said, if Monday was going to show a reversal pattern it would have closed over Friday’s highs at $104.75.
Additionally, we are still watching for JNK to fill its price gap from last Thursday's low as seen by the black line in the above chart.
In the shorter term, we can now watch JNK to clear Friday’s high as a small breakout from Tuesday's consolidative price action.
This can give us confidence in taking trades that tend to closely follow the general markets’ price action as JNK is a good risk on or off indicator.
For trade ideas, Mp Materials (NYSE:MP) has an interesting setup.
Though it recently broke underneath its 200-Day moving average at $36.25, MP is now back over the major moving average and looking to clear the 10-DMA next at $38.04.
Fundamentally MP sits in a strong space as it’s one of North America's largest mines for rare earth materials used in many devices from phones to electric vehicles.
With that said, technical analysis is key.
Therefore, watch for MP to clear and hold over its 10-DMA along with JNK to either clear $104.75 or fill its gap for a strong buy signal at $105.02.
