MARKET NOTE:
The S&P 500's latest all-time high came with a price once again as a long-term negative divergence accompanied the breakout. In addition, the NASDAQ failed to break above 4486 last week after testing that level. Throw in the severe drop in home construction stocks ($DJUSHB) of late and the sudden struggle of semiconductors ($SOX) and railroads ($DJUSRR) - two strong groups in 2014 - and it's easy to see why many traders are nervous and the VIX is beginning to climb.
ADDITIONS TO WATCH LISTS:
There are no additions to our Watch Lists today.
BRIEF COMMENTS ON SELECT WATCH LIST STOCKS:
Short Watch List:
There are no stocks on our Short Watch List at this time.
Large Cap Watch List:
CNP - Closed slightly below its 20 day EMA, but held price support easily and is bouncing today. Continues to trade well.
FDX - Negative divergence leading to further selling. The 50 day SMA and gap support at 145.35 are two solid entry points on FDX.
HSP - Having a very strong day after recently resetting its daily MACD at centerline support. A strong finish today would be bullish, although I do expect higher prices here in time regardless of today's finish.
NVDA - Triggered our Second Entry. I like the reward to risk on NVDA at the 17.50 level.
Mid Cap Watch List:
PAY - Moving below price support at 35.00, but note the volume is very light. A move down to 34.00 would represent our Second Entry point.
WTW - Moving lower again after establishing what appeared to be a short-term uptrend last week. Disappointing, but we'll keep our Closing Stop at 19.00 and give this one a chance at recovery.
Small Cap Watch List:
There are no Small Cap Watch List stocks at this time.
DELETIONS FROM OUR WATCH LISTS:
There are no deletions unless closing stops are violated.
Happy trading!
