short candidates for your consideration

RVBD comes to us via i like the chart and it displays a nice combination of red flags (i lost count) that should cause longs in this stock to get a little worried:
  • the blue circle highlights a failed breakout attempt and notice the low volume 2 trading days before that huge gap down
  • the most recent big volume spike seems to indicate distribution as volume was huge but the the stock went no where
  • the purple cicle highlights a failure at the longest term uptrend line possible and the stock gapped down at the open and closed today under the 50-day moving average
  • finally, notice how the stock is working its way "across" the red parallel uptrend lines and the stock keeps failing at these lines


at the time of composing this post, the asian markets were up... in my opinion, tomorrow is a wild card. the market attempted a bounce today, and to be honest, i was surprise at how short-lived it was. if the asian markets close strong, i imagine US markets will follow tomorrow, but of course there are no guarantees. i am hesitant to put up too many more charts right now - pretty much every stock on my watchlist is at a kind of cross roads, and it seems most of them will be looking to the overall markets to set the tone tomorrow.

otherwise, ENER and MEDI are worth keeping an eye on first thing tomorrow - if they open weak and make easily obtainable recent new lows on decent volume, they might be worth a trade.

¡banderas rojas! (red flags!) [click chart for larger image]

BBD - getting interesting here - under the 50-day moving average - under a short term downtrend line - and sitting on support - we'll see how strong it is...


BOOM - last friday and thursday were big distribution days as BOOM went essentially no where on big volume and experienced that squirrelly gap up at the top. today BOOM pulled back through thru support indicating a failed breakout (at least for the moment) and fell below a short term uptrend line on big volume - what's next?


CRDN - tim knight mentioned this on his blog tonite - in addition to the huge bearish engulfing candle he noticed, i thought i would point out the break of the 50-day moving average and the break of the short term uptrend line, all on great volume!


GROW - the 50-day moving avererage has transitioned from support to resistance (see the red circles - i have also highlighted how the price action is becoming wedged between support and the downtrend line - which will break first?


LEH - candle in the red circle shows the price opening below the uptrend line and breaking the 50-day moving average on nice volume - the candle in the blue circle shows more selling/downward pressure with even more volume - will the break-out support hold?


MEDI - the 50-day moving average along with 50-day and 200-day moving average crossover resistance (green line) still capping this sucker (see the post: another signifance for moving average crossovers)

another signifance for moving average crossovers

these points of the 50-day and 200-day moving average crossover seem to be significant for drawing support/resistance lines...

CAT's break above the the ma200 and the downtrend was catalyzed by an increase in share buy back - will it hold? volume on this breakout isn't bad but it isn't awesome either


MEDI retraced perfectly to underside of the trendline and filled the gap - there is news, so i am not sure exactly where this one is going
