MARKET NOTE:
The stock market typically performs poorly this week from an historical perspective. We're also overbought with respect to stochastics and 60 minute negative divergences are indicative of slowing short-term momentum to the upside. Throw in mild max pain issues that tell us market makers would like lower prices too. But while these signal a possible pause in the advance, traders have recently turned to "risk on" mode during the latest market breakout to all-time highs and this suggests the rally is sustainable. Therefore, we like entry into healthy stocks if we do see a pullback this week.

BRIEF COMMENTS ON SELECT WATCH LIST STOCKS:
Short Watch List:
There are no Short Watch List stocks at this time.
Large Cap Watch List:
ADBE - Patience now paying off. ADBE recently broke out and it's continuing its move higher.
BA - Massive uptrend here remains intact, but BA is overbought on both RSI and stochastics. Difficult to buy or add given current overbought status, but technically very healthy.
MCO - In a bull flag formation, looks to move higher after current period of consolidation.
RAX - Continues to push higher on excellent volume today, but could be leaving long tail to the top. On heavy volume, this could be the sign of a short-term top.
RHT - 60 minute negative divergence could make it difficult for a further rise near-term.
Mid Cap Watch List:
SYNA - Testing recent highs near 80. Could use more volume to confirm next breakout.
TASR - Continuing consolidation bringing daily MACD closer and closer to centerline support. This type of basing is normally quite bullish. We'll see.
Small Cap Watch List:
There are no Small Cap Watch List stocks at this time.
DELETIONS FROM OUR WATCH LISTS:
There are no deletions today unless closing stops are violated.
Happy trading!
