Markets put in a decent session Thursday as indexes managed to finish well off their lows and near highs for the day. The Nazz finished basically UNCH as it recovered more than 40 handles from its intra day low. The S&P 500 closed higher by .5%. Since it retook its 1200 level which proved trouble previously it has closed above that level ever since. Volume increased on the Nazz and fell on the S&P 500. Some positives are coming about with the 200 day MA on SDS becoming a nuisance. It has repeatedly found resistance their in recent days. Breakouts are emerging slowly. Today TSCO broke out from a 70.20 cup with handle base on 3X normal daily volume. Some stocks are starting to act in a benign way to earnings. Today RVBD rose 9%, UNP 4%, NUE 3%. Before we were seeing negative reactions even to good reports. The XLF found 50 day support today. 200 day support on the XRT is starting to look concrete. The Nazz's comeback was impressive since 3 of the heavyweights were lower today. AAPL PCLN and WYNN was down 5% alone. You would think we would be considerably lower considering the recent earning disappointments from the like of AAPL WYNN HAL WFC. But the fact that we are still holding up relatively well, more impressive since the huge run up we have had, has to bode well. Earnings Friday include MCD DOV KSU SLB VZ GNC.
Stocks near exact buy points (more on previous blogs) are NDAQ 26.06 in a double bottom with handle buy point. CHKP 61.56 in a cup without handle base. TIF setting up a double bottom base with a buy point of 77.94. KSU 59.77 in a cup with handle base. KSU reports before the bell Friday and if its as good as UNP was today, could potentially be a sweet breakout. GNC is also reporting Friday and its chart has firmed up nicely since retaking its 50 day MA. It is sporting a 24.90 double bottom buy point. BMY is one day away of forming the very bullish 3 week tight pattern where a stock closes on a weekly basis within 1% 3 consecutive weeks.
