Interesting Spot for Netflix Into Earnings Tonight
Although I am not much of an earnings gambler, I do think it is interesting to see NFLX right back to its prior highs as it heads into earnings after market close tonight. The weekly chart, below, illustrates as much. Perhaps the stock is in a holding pattern and will use the report as an excuse to gap above or below this critical level. ...

Down to a Runner; Chess Moves
With the stock continuing to squeeze, I sold another piece of my X long here at $27.58 from my $25.40 entry yesterday to scale more gains. I am now down to about 25% of my original position size with a stop at my entry to protect the win. As tempting as it is to press for a higher move, the fact remains that the energy, materials, and steels...

Playing the Relatives; Chess Moves
While the GDX and GDXJ ETFs (for the senior and junior gold miners, respectively) negotiate their 50-day moving averages from the underside, I a electing to play a relative strength name in the group. I wart long HL at $3.32 with a stop-loss below $3.10 on a closing basis. HL is a top two holding in the GDXJ ETF. While it is low-priced, the...

Down to Half an X Now; Chess Moves
I sold another piece of my X long here at $27.21 from my $25.40 entry to scale more gains into this strength as the stock becomes short-term overbought. I am raising my stop-loss to my entry price now, and have roughly 1/2 of the original position size. I am also still short XLU, utilities, and down roughly 1% on the position as the utes...

Standing Up to Tough Conditions from Above
When we looked at crude oil becoming overbought in an ongoing bear market (as defined by a declining 200-day moving average above price on the USO ETF), the issue then became whether crude would act in such as a way which portends another leg down, or instead would stand up to normally-ripe conditions to short for another thrust higher. After...

Scaling a Hot Position; Chess Moves
With my letter X long hitting up through its upper daily chart Bollinger Band (meaning short-term overbought) just now, seen below, I am selling about 1/3 of my position here at $26.88 from my $25.40 entry yesterday to scale gains. My stop-loss is still below $24. X and the steel names are benefitting from the rotation into energy and...

Let's See if We Get the Hat Trick
With BLUE and JUNO both sprinting higher this morning, the only thing missing now to complete our "hat trick" of a triple breakout from our big three biotechs on watch would be to see ESPR sustain a move higher. Indeed, with many biotech and energy/materials stocks squeezing this morning, not to mention beaten-down names like YELP we have been...

A Key to Deep Sea Diving in the Commodities Ocean
With promising action in energy, steels, even coals, and many other materials names today, save precious miners, the U.S. Dollar is still likely to be a key piece of the puzzle as to whether the commodities and materials' rally has legs from current levels. On the updated UUP, ETF for the Dollar, daily chart, below, note how the greenback came...

Analyzing the Basic Box
The chart for Basic Energy Services is one we have observed periodically. And it may very well be worth a closer look here not only on its own merits, but perhaps as a means to extrapolate the technical setup to the rest of the energy sector. On the updated daily chart, below, note that price is threatening to break up and out of the rectangle...
