EXK/Long (Basic Materials Silver)  EXK had four days of consolidation after a Rounded Bottom Breakout (RBB) pattern.  Friday printed a bull kicker-type signal and the combined overall pattern has the possibility of a 30% plus return.

Possible entry plan idea:  Positive trading over $2.73
Possible stop plan idea:   Below $2.49

Good Morning, 

SPY:  Friday’s bullish piercing candle, two cents from a Bullish Engulf and what appears to be no bad news over the long weekend Continue Reading

UVXY/Long (Ultra VIX short) UVXY is a play on market fear.  Yesterday’s Bullish Engulf closing over the 200-period moving average comes after a continuation pattern, a PBO Bullish Engulf, and a little rounded bottom, not to mention the bullish “W” pattern and the little cup and handle.  Let’s not forget The Rounded Bottom Breakout (RBB) pattern.

My entry plan idea:  (I already own it) but will be looking to add more on positive trading above yesterday’s open.  More than likely, I will be closing this out today.
My stop plan idea:   Below $31.35

The best trading group to hang out with!  Why?  MUX and CLF were pointed out by members yesterday as nice set-ups.  Sold SA yesterday for a small percent. Profits are profits.  Took a few losses yesterday heading into the long weekend. Monday is a holiday, so there’s a high probability of a little more selling today because of traders wanting to be flat for three days off.

Good Morning, 

SPY:  Eleven days ago, I started talking about the bearish “M” pattern setting up in the SPY.  Since then, the SPY has lost 3.6% and Continue Reading

SQQQ/ Long (Ultra Pro short)  SQQQ formed a bullish piercing candle on January 9 from a profit taking pull back followed by bullish confirmation closing over the big three with about 8% to the first minor target and possibly more on market weakness.

My entry plan idea:  (Bought yesterday at $31.30) Buy or add to on positive trading above the big three.
My stop plan idea:   A close below 30.25

NUGT / Long (Gold Miners Bull ETF)   NUGT became a Rounded Bottom Breakout on January 7 and continues to consolidate above the 50-period moving average.  You can see all eight of the Rounded Bottom Breakout setup rules found in the e-book.  Also, a bullish double bottom and a Doji Bullish Engulf secured the 20- period moving average.

My entry plan idea:  Below $15.59 would be nice, but I’d also take an entry below $16.86.
My stop plan idea:   I’m going to use a 5% stop or a bearish candlestick on the close

Good Morning, 

SPY:  The bearish pattern that I have mentioned over the past week or two is still hanging over the market.  Last week we had a nice little relief Continue Reading

TGTX / Long (Healthcare)   TGTX has formed a support line near the $15.40 area. After a big snap to the upside, we are seeing profit taking near the 20-day simple moving average.  Yesterday formed a morning star-type reversal signal.  On a breakout of the recent high, we would have a J-Hook continuation pattern with a 30%-plus profit target.

My entry plan idea:  Positive trading above yesterday’s close or an inside day
My stop plan idea:    A close below the T-Line for now

LOCO / Long (Restaurants)   LOCO was trading bearish for several days below the T-Line, and a low was put in on December 16.  Then for the next week or so, price moved sideways still underneath the T-Line with a slight dip creating a scoop pattern.  A tiny bullish Harami sparked a gap with another gap closing over the T-Line and the 20-day simple moving average.  The T-Line is currently 13% away from the 34 EMA.  If bought low enough, we can call this a pinball setup to the 34 EMA and on continued follow-through, there is a possible 25% profit to the 50-period moving average.

My entry plan idea:  Inside day buy below yesterday’s high and above the T-Line
My stop plan idea:    A close back below the T-Line for now

Yesterday’s featured trade idea ran 12.4%

EXK / Long (Basic Materials Silver)  EXK has come off of its lows closing above the T-Line with about 13 1/2% between the T-Line and the 34 EMA and about 25% from the T-Line to the 50-day simple moving average.  EXK is set up for both a pinball trade as well as a snap-back 50 trade.  Also take note of the 1-2-3 formation with the Doji Bullish Engulf the last two trading days.  All are strategies that we use here at Hit &Run Candlesticks.
