They're Not Giving Up on the V
Another V-shaped rally back to recent highs on the S&P 500 Index, seen below on the daily chart, leaves many market players in an interesting spot as we head into the final two holiday-shortened weeks of 2014. I did not do too much swing trading this week, not only due to the overnight gaps and wild price moves in both directions but also...

Capable of a Monstrous Squeeze Attack
I still view IMAX as an explosive short squeeze candidate to the upside, especially as we head into the big Hollywood Christmas film releases. The stock remains very heavily-shorted. And observing the technicals on the daily chart, below, if the $28.70 area below can now hold as newfound support the thesis has a chance to work. In addition,...

Starbucks Looking to Keep Its Brand Intact
SBUX is a critical chart in the market headed into next week, insofar as whether this breakout holds in a routine check-back on the weekly chart, first below. A move back under $78 would set up a potential "bull trap," or false breakout. At a minimum, it would yield a squishy chart like we have seen from the financials of late. Also note, as...

Looking at Other Ground for a Sniper Short
&feature=youtu.be CP may be a candidate for me to rotate my UNP short money into, with the mega rail struggling today. On the daily chart, below, note the wedge up to the breakdown level of the diamond pattern. A rollover now below $185 would likely set up a trigger. I am still in the UNP short, with my cover-stop over $124.

Opening Up This Can of Crude
With well-defined lows in place at $20.53 on the USO ETF, crude oil is now making a case for a temporary bottom, seen on the 30-minute timeframe, below. To be sure, $20.53 represents a logical stop-loss zone for longs here, in the event some headlines come out over the weekend driving the oil price lower. But the initial, scary plunge earlier...

Late Night Strategy for Friday
On the latest push lower in the precious metals miners this month, the junior gold miners in the GDXJ ETF (daily chart, below) actually lagged the senior miners in the GDX ETF. Typically, that is a bearish sign of "risk off" in the complex, with the presumption of another leg lower in the space imminent. However, precious metals miners have...

Staying Onatopp of the Russian Market
The RSX, country ETF for Russia, made its way over the 20-period moving average on the 30-minute chart (orange line, below) yesterday, which we looked at as an actionable long setup. Nonetheless, trades need to be kept on tight leashes here, as Russia remains a risky, headline driven special situation. At issue now is whether we have another...

Two Charts To Watch as the Markets Levitate
AAPL is bouncing hard off its 50-day moving average today, after struggling for a few weeks to hold strength. In general, the market is staging a spirited snapback rally from oversold conditions. However, as I noted earlier I am still watching that 20-day moving average on the S&P 500 Index to see if it acts as resistance. In the meantime,...
