The S&P 500 (ETF Proxy – AMEX:SPY) remains in this weird holding pattern that has become the norm recently after a big POMO rally. I would expect to see price drift down to the 20sma (blue line), then whipsaw back to the highs before price can truly correct. It remains a market without much interest until we break free from this tight range.
Home Depot (NYSE:HD) is about to break out to the upside without much power or trend sponsorship.
As I stated last week, I am stalking an entry to the short side as any breakout given the weak power is highly likely to be false and unsustainable. I will be watching the daily chart for a candlestick reversal bar, and will put my stop loss orders above that price pattern for a “double dip” short trade with a profit objective in that same $94.50 area.
This week, Chevron (NYSE:CVX) filled its breakaway gap, tested the resistance offered by its 10sma (yellow line) and turned lower. I would remain cautiously optimistic and expect to see price break down to a new low, but would trail stops down a bit to just above the recent $114.95 highs.
