XHB
XHB, the homebuilders ETF, is breaking in to five-year high territory after consolidating in a three-month channel.
TOL
TOL broke out with the ETF, but still can be caught here, using the last three days’ bars as your risk/reward on a breakout above the $33.95 area.
DHI
DHI is looking good, but yet to break out. You can use the last three bars as the risk/reward on a breakout above the $20.80 area.
CF
CF is getting squeezed between its 200ma and the down sloping trendline. The chart looks pretty good as it is less than 3% below all-time highs.
POT
As I have said before, POT sucks. I hate trading that stock. But…it does look like it might be breaking a year-long downtrend. If it does, it will need some sideways work, but keep an eye on it this year.
MU
MU looked like it was ready to go back in August, but it failed. Since then it has tested the breakout around $7.00 twice more for a total of four times. A couple of days of sideways action would set up a good risk/reward trade here.
AMZN
Don’t look now but AMZN is near all-time highs. A couple of days’ consolidation in the indicated box would set up a sweet trade.
FB
There are A LOT of bag holders in this stock. Having said that, the $28.90 break in FB could send the stock racing higher.
DXCM
DXCM is looking nice here.
STMP
After gapping up, STMP is forming a progressively more narrow range above its 20/50/200 ma. Watch for a break above $26.40.
ZNGA
For bottom pickers, ZNGA is giving you probably the best risk/reward this dog has ever had on a break above $2.75. Arf! Arf!
LVS
Since I first highlighted it in early August, LVS has grinded higher, providing numerous trading opportunities along the way. I wouldn’t chase here, but a successful re-test of the recent breakout level would be a buy.
FIO
Yeah, I know Steve Wozniak is somehow associated with this company. No matter, FIO looks like a short on a break below the trendline.
FIRE
Don’t know what FIRE does, but the chart looks like it is rolling over here and a short below the trendline.
