Trade Ideas: KONG, K, BK, VSL, PONR, SONO, WITS, MTSN
Bulls took up the opportunity to buy into a short term, Tech oversold market. Whether it can sustain itself will become apparent next week. But it generated a nice swathe of stocks on the Trade Ideas scan. Today's eight stocks covered a time span of three minutes, each stock appeared only once over this time period.
KONG: Decent handle shaping off $14.25 resistance as part of a four month base. 20-day MA has acted as support during this handle and stops should be placed on a loss of this average. Short term traders can sell test of $15. Those with a longer time frame can look to a projected target of $19.50 or the point-n-figure target of $23.50. Featured to my newsletter subscribers for September 26th at $12.87.
K: Small rectangular consolidation at $45.85 support, one of the strongest performing consolidation patterns. Projected target of $50 but this is a conservative estimate if a triple top breakout on the point-n-figure chart is hit by a move to $47. Latter chart target is $73.
BK: Trading around support of the 50-day MA. Best to wait for break of $36 before joining the fray. Solid rising channel on the weekly chart. Point-n-figure price target of $58 (note the ever increasng volume pattern in the p-n-f chart; very bullish). Frist featured to my newsletter subscribers at $29.39 for September 23rd and again for November 1st.
VSL: Double bottom ($18.98/$18.72) confirmation on its way to closing the breakdown gap at $21. Should see test of $23.50 resistance. Weekly chart shows prices have hugged the 40-week average and this has provided an excellent buying opportunity. Point-n-figure target of $37.50 should follow from the (confirmed) weekly triangle target of $26.
PONR: Stuck in a broad trading range between $29 and $33. A push to $34 would trigger an ascending triple top breakout. Price target of $43.50. One to watch.
SONO: Another stock trading inside a consolidation pattern. Today may be viewed as a low volume channel breakout. 200-day MA/40-week MA has acted as support and is a place to position stops (alternatively on a loss of $37). Point-n-figure target of $64. Further watch-list material. Featured on my newsletter when it traded at $33.79 in July of last year.
WITS: Nice follow through on last weeks broad white candlestick. This looks to have formed a bear trap following the failed break of $22.25 support. Expect test of $25.50. Point-n-figure target of $29.50 looks reasonable, but it may not get there quickly. Featured as a newsletter pick from September 2004 (traded around $16) to April 18th of this year.
MTSN: Coming to the end of a four month consolidation. Stops can go on a loss of $11. Cautious buyers may wish to wait for break of $12.50. Resistance at $13.50 shouldn't be too much of a problem. Measured move target of $17.70. Point-n-figure target of $26. Weekly chart shows the four month consolidation as a solid handle in a 2 year base.
