This Period of Quiet is Sending Some Loud Signals

The following is just a small excerpt from my latest Weekly Strategy Session (please click on that hyperlink for details about trying it out). which I published for members and 12631 subscribers this past Sunday.

 Without question, there remain plenty of divergences pointing towards a mature bull market running on borrowed time. Divergences, by nature, do not seem to matter much until they do, and then they seem to matter in such a way where market players who ignored them wonder why they never took them seriously. At the same time, bull markets have a knack for rendering bearish divergences to be pure folly for extended periods of time until, again, they do not–And then those negative divergences and other warning signs abruptly and unforgivingly come home to roost.

For those reasons, in this weekend’s Strategy Session I am going to present three tangible keys to the week ahead.

Before I do that, though, I still think it is instructive to briefly run through just some of the current warning signs which, once more, should be taken with a grain of salt until we see some actual price deterioration on the major averages.

First, for context, consider just how long this bull market has been grinding higher. The S&P 500 Index has not experienced even a mild 10% correction off the highs, nor a trip down to its 200-day simple moving average since 2012, both historically rare circumstances, indeed.

Quick Bounce Plays

If you are looking for some (quick) support buys here, a good algorithm screen to have, courtesy of The PPT, is one I made called “12631 Quick Bounce Plays.”

Thus, they are ripe for a quick bounce as the momentum seems to be turning, if only for a bit. I also screen for PPT Relative Strength scores, as well as volume and % from 50 day moving average.

Here are the readings as of Friday’s close. Remember, we are talking about short-term flips here, not high quality, multi-week swings. Keep those stop-losses in place.

Late Night Strategy for Monday

29

In addition to the FB long setup, a good deal of eyes are also on AKAM for the weekly chart bullish ascending triangle breakout setup, seen on the first chart, below. If we see the bulls run the market this week, I suspect Akamai benefits from chasers.

And on the short side, I am still eyeing General Motors for a move below $34 from a vulnerable chart pattern, second below.

Drop me your top tickers overnight.
