A Big Night for Discretionary Spending

AMZN and SBUX are just two of the big earnings reports coming up, which should shed some light as to where the XLY, consumer discretionary ETF, seen below on the daily chart, resolves the highlighted consolidation near recent highs. AAPL is also having a good day, with earnings next week, while FB falters after its own earnings. Into the...

Battling the Levels

Facebook and Caterpillar are both giving up their earnings gains this morning. In particular, we had $84.39 as a key level this morning to see if the pullback would hold and offer an actionable long entry. Instead, buyers failed to show up and here we are at midday with FB looking rather sloppy, seen on the 30-minute chart, below. On a more...

Old Autos and a Big Cat

GM is gapping down this morning, as they chart remains corrective since a strong start to 2015. If this gap down pauses enough to flag out a bit today or tomorrow, I view this as a looming short setup. And the big CAT, Caterpillar, second daily chart, is trying to find relief from its downtrend, which it has been in for a while now. Watch to...

Emerging Market Temptations

Petrobras has a similar chart setup, seen below on the daily timeframe, to many other energy stocks out there right now which we are looking today. PBR also has, of course, emerging markets exposure. And in addition to Brazil (EWZ) China (FXI) is pushing higher yet again. I see some setups developing in this space, too. For now, PBR above the...

A Good Look at Bouncing Along

As we have seen with the likes of AAPL FB of late, bulls seem unfazed even as price leans down against well-defined support. YHOO is another example of this circumstance, post-earnings against that $44 level. If buyers can keep defending it, then the key remains the sideways channel (light blue lines), and no short trade despite the tempting...

A Big Test for This Burrito

A good test this morning to see whether the CMG negative earnings reaction is an exaggerated one is to see if it can respond to the gap-fill from April 9th, at around $654.40. CMG is gapping below the gap now. And I am looking to see if buyers are responsive for at least a quick scalp. If the selling intensifies under $650, then it is likely...

CANCEL ALL WARRANTS! We Have Ourselves a Scapegoat

As Zero Hedge noted within the last hour, on an otherwise slow market post-morning gap into the afternoon, we have ourselves a scapegoat for the Flash Crash on May 6th, 2015, a cool five years after the fact. Regarding the tape, cybersecurity is still in play on the long side, as are other techs, while UA has not tested its 50-day moving...
