Friday July 14

We traded LABU ( XBI, IBB) in June and made some quick gains.  I believe that it may be time to go biotech again.

 

XBI - After a solid run higher from a bullish W pattern consolidation, the XBI & IBB has formed a bull flag.  Both broke higher with increasing volume yesterday. This can be bought here with a stop under the bottom of the flag.  I want to point out that this Flag MIGHT turn into a longer consolidation pattern too.  See the next chart...

 

XBI JULY 5th -  I noticed that some readers were shorting XBI & IBB in early July, so this was my chart from July 5th showing that a bull flag could form, not making it a profitable short.  It could run sideways for weeks until the 10ma on a weekly basis catches up. My target has been the former highs around 90 .

SPX - We were anticipating a trend line break and a close above the 10 sma to help confirm a dcl. We got it. The last time that this happened, the gap filled one month later.

Wed July 12 – Target Practice

I've been posting a variety of trade set ups in the past few reports, and we are seeing some nice follow through.  Let's take a quick look at a few Market Sectors and then discuss more trade set ups, and current trades in the works.

 

NASDAQ - The NASDAQ closed above the 50sma and the 10sma and that is a bullish start to a new daily cycle. We do need an overhead  trend line break, but I wouldn't wait that long,  I would go long on this close above the 10 & 50sma and just keep an eye on it until it gets a bit higher.

SMH -  This is a bullish chart.   It is ahead of the NASDAQ, because it did break an overhead trend line already. This is a buy here above the 50sma.
