Trade Ideas: ICF, REG, CGI, MET, SKT, AGO, SAFC, CGX

It may have been a mixed day for the markets but the Trade Ideas scan was able to come up with some possibilities. The two featuring the most into the day's close were AGO and ICF, the former featured four and the latter three times.

In ICF's case there is a four month base in development with resistance at $87 and support at $83. The projected target is $97 and stops can go on a loss of $84. The point-n-figure chart holds to a double top breakout from July 3rd with a price target of $99.

AGO has stalled at key $26 resistance from Feburary and March. Supply again crops up at $27. One to watch - wait for volume break of $27 before getting excited.

One of the better charts is CGI. Breakout buyers should wait for a move to $31.50, but there is a solid 17-month base taking shape with key resistance at $34. A move to $32 will trigger a breakout on the point-n-figure chart and negate the current (bearish) target of $20.

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.

Russell 2000 reverses off resistance

Image
The Russell 2000 ($IWM) has shaped a four month cup-and-handle pattern, but Friday's challenge of handle resistance was not enough to generate the follow through needed to continue the rally. Despite the losses, On-Balance-Volume remains on a 'buy' trigger and the MACD has the potential to offer a 'buy' trigger of its own on the next gain. However, losses did reverse relative performance away from Small Caps to the Nasdaq. The Nasdaq banked a small gain Friday on trading volume which was lighter than normal. While price action gathered little attention, there was a return to net bullish technicals with a new MACD trigger 'buy' to go alongside the earlier 'buy' signal in On-Balance-Volume. Thursday's bearish black candlestick was not good to see, but Friday didn't deliver the losses such a candlestick can deliver. I have added a support trendline that will offer itself as an additional buy zone. Momentum is strongly bullish.

Being "Right" but still losing...

Image
I'm trying the Topstep Trader Combine as a sampler to day trading and it's an interesting setup with minimal outlay costs to get started. I'm not a huge fan of their platform UI but everything else has been pretty good so far. Today was one of those days where I waiting (and waiting) for the profit taking to kick in, but by the time sellers made their appearance I had reached my loss limit for the day and so that, was that. You can see all of my whipsaw trades here. For the record, I only work off price action, looking at support/resistance and tells like rapid stop take outs, usually a good sign for a reversal.
