Markets finished the day up, but off the best levels of the day after a mild late day sell off. At the expense of sounding like a broken record the Nasdaq again outclassed the S&P 500 today. Volume was up. Leading stocks added a few more break outs, as BIIB took out a 120.76 cup base trigger, and RL broke out from a 152.10 double bottom trigger (RL volume was just under the greater than 40% daily volume threshold). WFM reclaimed its 74.55 cup base trigger today. EXPE is now up 8% since its 30.50 cup with handle break out, just the type of action you like to see. CBI was up 3% today nearing 4 year highs, after twice retesting its 42.02 cup with handle trigger twice recently. The same can be said of FFIV that was up over 2%, today and also tested its prior trigger twice of 117.40 in its cup with handle base. Other stocks I am watching include FUL which has undergone huge accumulation all through the month of January. Lets see if the stock forms a base in the near term. HD is trading very tightly near 10 years highs which is very bullish. In the process of completing a 3 week tight pattern if it ends within a 1% price range Friday. TMK is also trading very tightly near all time highs in very tight trade. Stocks needing one more day to complete their handles within their cup bases are DE SGY. Stocks building the right sides of their bases and to be included on a watch list are FLS ARW ALB. KBR was up over 4% today as it has found 40 week support numerous times since retaking that line 1/13. After hours action was mixed with QCOM up, and CMG down.
