Technical Picture - Markets Edge Up in Quiet Trade

The SPY has managed to fill all of the gaps as it bounced off of the lower channel line. However, there's been a lack of momentum as depicted by the RSI. Without a catalyst, I expect more lackluster trade.

The $USD failed in a attempt to BO of an inverse H&S bottom. This has provided a boost to the commodity trade, but outside of Ags and copper, I'm not seeing much conviction yet.

ES_futures trading higher on a very weak $USD as I write this post.

Stocks Setting Up for This Week

NVLS- NR7 coiling - buy on break of $36.00 for a move back up to the base of inverse H&S pattern, and eventual BO.

Flagging - PETM (above) and ERTS (below). Other bullish flags on my WL are DISH and FL (not depicted).

QCOM has been basing in a tight formation for several weeks. Now that the Bollinger bands have tightened, I expect a BO attempt very soon.

MELI has carved out a symmetrical continuation pattern with strong volume on the upswings within the triangle. This is the most promising setup for a BO long.


RIMM is a box play.

AKAM - positive divergence of the MACD to lower prices foreshadows a trend reversal.

FFIV cleared its 200 DMA on higher volume. Look for price to consolidate in upper range and then BO.

CREE cleared its 50 DMA on decent volume. Base and break.
