Trade Ideas: BMS

A solid day for the market on higher volume. The June/July rally ticks along
with the S&P a few ticks shy of a breakout to new closing highs. The Trade Ideas scan ticked along at a decent base; my 8 stock read covered a timespan of 2 minutes. The most recent stock to feature was Bemis Co. BMS.

The stock has shaped a lovely handle off a 5-month base. Clear support at $31.50 (run stops on a loss of this support) with an ideal pivot buy $0.10 above $32.60 resistance. The measured move target for the cup-and-handle is $36.50, but the point-n-figure chart target of $54 would appeal to those who would like to hold for a little longer. A 2.4% yield is handy candy while you wait.

Bemis Company, Inc. engages in the manufacture and sale of flexible packaging products and pressure sensitive materials primarily in the United States, Canada, South America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Mexico. It operates through two segments, Flexible Packaging and Pressure Sensitive Materials. Flexible Packaging segment manufactures a broad range of consumer and industrial packaging. It offers multilayer flexible polymer film structures and laminates, blown and cast stretchfilm products, carton sealing tapes and application equipment, custom thermoformed plastic packaging, multiwall and single-ply paper bags, printed paper roll stock, and bag closing materials. Pressure Sensitive Materials segment manufactures pressure sensitive materials for label, graphic, and technical markets. Its label markets products include narrow-web rolls of pressure sensitive paper, film, and metalized film printing stocks used in high-speed printing and die-cutting of primary package labeling, secondary or promotional decoration, and for high-speed, high-volume data processing stocks, bar code labels, and numerous laser printing applications. This segment’s graphic market products include pressure sensitive papers and films used for decorative signage through computer-aided plotters, digital and screen printers, and photographic overlaminate and mounting materials.

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.
