Trade Ideas: MA

The wide range bars from yesterday disguised the true extent of Thursday's buying. It was another day of heavy volume (but below that of yesterday). The Trade Ideas scan was a little slow for the day that it was with 8 picks covering a time span of 16 minutes.

Clearing the 20 appearance barrier were Mastercard (MA) and Kroger (KR) at 27 and 24 appearances a piece.

Mastercard (MA) has experienced a lovely uptrend since its IPO. The stock looks to be in the process of shaping a bullish ascending triangle with an upcoming 'buy' trigger in the MACD. Volume could have been a little better - but this should increase on a push above $105.61. Sell loss of triangle support. Thursday ranked as a triple top breakout on the point-n-figure chart with a price target of $109.
