Trade Ideas: LOW

Markets taking an initial shine to the Fed decision. Russell 2000 clears 797 resistance in a fresh breakout. New highs in Large caps. Techs remain range bound, but are at least working upside from their 20-day MAs (or mid-Bollinger band). The buying was reflected in the Trade Ideas scan; 8 picks covered a time span of under 1 minute. Topping in 45 appearances was Lowe's Companies (LOW) (actually - now that I look down the list I see Teleflex, TFX, on 57 appearances)

The best strategy play for this is to follow the trend channel. The stock recently enjoyed a "Golden Cross" between its 50-day and 200-day MAs. Major base resistance lurks at $34.50. Look for a handle to develop between $32 and $35 before the real fun starts. Projected target of $42. Current bearish point-n-figure chart target of $19 will be negated by a move to $35.
