Fallond / Trade Ideas / Jim Cramer : May 30th

A mixed bag of action for the 1-week comparison, unfortunately there were no picks from Jim Cramer for Tuesday. Market ETFs had the roughest time, closing the week down -1.46%, but at least their losses were above the disaster zone which marked these ETFs in early May. My newsletter stock picks bagged the highest gains as they closed the week up an average of +1.21% per trade, helped in large part by the +10.19% gain in IMNY. My Trade-Ideas scan had a solid, if unspectacular week, ending the week up +0.38%, helped by the +8.49% gain in CNSL.

The worst performance award went to MYGN from the Trade-Ideas scan. It closed the week down -3.68%.

With respect to stock frequency on the Trade Ideas scan; RG, which appeared 6 times over the course of 45 minutes, closed the week up slightly (+0.66%). The next two most frequent stocks, CNSL and MYGN, at two appearances each covered the performance spectrum of best and worst respectively.

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.
