Trade Ideas: TEF, ORA, RPF, AIRM, EWP, SZE, CRZO, HTBK

Share ideas were flying off the Trade Ideas scan as the post-lunch rally took hold on Wall Street. Good volume in the tech averages (much needed given their precarious state) was the first indication of life in the bulls after a series of small losses. Much work still to do however.

Some good charts:

TEF is working the right-hand-side of an 18-month base. Stops go on a loss of $48, resistance at $51. Projected target $60 (which also corresponds to the point-n-figure chart target, part of the July 3rd ascending triple top breakout). In the same vein is the Spanish iShares, EWP. Watch for break of $43, stops on loss of $42 and look for move to $50. Mature stage rally but the 40-week has been support on three occasions (July 2005, November 2005 and June 2006).

RPF is a Realty fund challenging $23 resistance with support at $22.60. Excellent low risk entry here. Look for short term move to $25 but point-n-figure chart target of $34.50 is not outside the realms of possibility, part of a January 6th double top breakout. 8% yield.

CRZO is threatening $32 resistance as the 40-week moving average squeezes demand. Stock managed a double top breakout on June 23rd with a $53 price target. Stops on a loss of $27.

S&P "Bull Trap"?

Image
I thought there was sufficient evidence to argue against a "bull trap" in the S&P, but it would appear the market wasn't interested in such thoughts and sellers were quick to reverse the initial push above 4,200.  Adding to the pain were new 'sell' triggers in MACD and On-Balance-Volume, although the former occurred above the 'bullish' zero line, making it a weak signal. Selling volume ranked as distribution as selling momentum picked up speed.  The index is also underperforming relative to the Russell 2000.

"Black Candlesticks" are a concern for the S&P and Nasdaq

Image
A bright start for bulls on the back of positive $NVDA earnings wasn't enough to generate a day of meaningful gains.  However, it did help stall the losses of the last couple of days. The Nasdaq was the biggest beneficiary of today's action, but not enough to see an end-of-day finish that cleared last week's swing high, nor delivery of a large white candlestick, despite the morning breakout gap.  Technicals are net bullish and relative performance against the S&P has become consistently stronger since the start of May.  While today's candlestick I would view as typically 'bearish', today's volume ranked as confirmed accumulation (bullish). Overall, I would be looking for higher prices from here.

Round 2 for the bearish "black" candlestick in S&P and Nasdaq

Image
The Nasdaq started brightly but ended up closing below its open price, but above yesterday's close. The S&P did something similar, although the intraday range is narrower. These two setups are somewhat complicated by the new 'buy' triggers in On-Balance-Volume for both the Nasdaq and S&P. And the new MACD trigger 'buy' for the S&P. Price action is key, so I would expect the candlestick to trump the technical picture; watch for lower prices tomorrow.
