Trade Ideas: SGK, AIT, MER, NRP, BZP, DCI, CHY, EXP

AN extension of Friday's trading? Modest gains on light volume still weren't enough to erase Thursday's losses. But Bulls do have a platform from which to launch an attack on supply - the question is whether bears will be able to respond? The Trade Ideas scan was in the bullish camp with a top-8 picks covering 2 minutes and the "20-appearance" list at just over an hour.

"Inverse Hammer" on Russell 2000 Breakout

Image
It was a mixed day for indices with the first indication of a top for the current advance with reversal candlesticks coming into play off opening gaps in markets. The Russell 2000 is looking the most vulnerable as it finally manages to break past the June swing high.

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

Bullish Engulfing Patterns Across Russell 2000, S&P and Nasdaq

Will today be the day markets get their latest swing low?  The Russell 2000 continues to be the index to offer most for bulls as support of $162.50 held firm.  The large white candlestick was supported by strong buying volume, but if anything, today's candlestick was *too* big and is vulnerable to getting pegged back tomorrow.  Technicals in the Russell 2000 weren't vastly improved by today's buying.  The MACD still has its 'buy' trigger but didn't advance much. On-Balance-Volume has been trending down throughout September and October and today's buying, while welcome, didn't make a huge dent in that trend.  The one real positive for this index is the continued improvement in relative performance to the Nasdaq and S&P.
