Trade Ideas: EFR

Market capitulation? Bullish divergences in money flow and a solid increase in volume. Time for the summer bounce? My Trade Ideas scan has not been short an idea or two. Over the last minute the following stocks have appeared: WXH, FPIC, FMD, PVTB, NU, FRT, VARI and MWIV. The chart I have gone for is the Eaton Vance Closed-End Bank Loan Fund, EFR.

Mini-congestion following the confirmation of a 2-month base, double bottom. Larger resistance overhead at $18.48. This pattern represents a consoliation handle from a double bottom $16.17/$16.07 seen on the weekly chart. Short term, look for challenge of $20. No overhead supply above $18.65. Dividend yield of 8.60%.

With the 'inverse hammer' we have the risk of a possible gap down Tuesday, which would result in an 'evening star' and a likely "bull trap" - feeding into the likelihood of a larger sell-off.

'Bear Traps' for the Nasdaq and S&P as Russell 2000 holds above support

Image
Buying in the Nasdaq and S&P delivered important 'bear traps' which in part, probably fueled today's gap highers in these indices. There is still alot of work for bulls to do, not least drive breaks of downward channels - not to mention, clear the first of the key moving averages in the 20-day. But it does give indices some respite from the grinding selling of the last couple of months.  The buying in the Nasdaq didn't register as accumulation, but there is a slow improvement in the technical picture with an upcoming 'buy' in the MACD.
