Alphabet, Amazon and Apple All Have Something In Common

Hello MarketClub members everywhere. Well, here we are at the end of one extraordinary week for the equity markets. I don’t remember a week where we watched the major market indices rally so dramatically from a bearish position in just three days.

In today's post, I'm going to be looking at the big 3 A's, Alphabet, Amazon and Apple. What these three stocks have in common is that they are all in downtrends and they all formed a negative (bearish) engulfing line yesterday. Should any of these three stocks close lower today, they will confirm that the high on Thursday will be a formidable resistance area for these stocks to overcome in the future.

Alphabet Inc.(NASDAQ:GOOG)

Trade Triangles: Weekly red, Monthly red, overall trend is bearish, trend strength -85.

Daily Chart of Alphabet Inc.(NASDAQ:GOOG)

Alphabet has a negative trend at the moment even though it has been extraordinarily strong in the past several years. It's not to say that it's going to hell in a hand basket, but rather it will begin to reflect a slowing economy that is evident in both the retail and dining sector. I would view a close below $697.34 as a confirming signal that it has put in an interim top and is going to retest its recent lows.

Bull Market Or Bear Market, Which Is It?

There's no doubt that the dramatic 800 point rally we have seen the past three days is practically unprecedented, but did it change the major trend of the market?

The simple answer is no, the longer-term trend for the equity markets at the moment remains negative. But please don't misunderstand what I'm saying, I was as surprised as anybody at the velocity of the rally which exceeded the Fibonacci retracement levels I discussed recently.

Today should be an interesting day to say the least, and I doubt seriously that the market can close higher and would expect to see some sort of pullback from the current levels. There is also what I would consider to be a major resistance based on the highs that were hit on Feb. 1st at the 1939 level on the S&P 500. Providing that level holds, we are still basically in a downward trending market, albeit a choppy one.

Gold

The pullback in gold (FOREX:XAUUSDO) appears to be consolidating, which is good given its rapid move to the upside. In an ideal world, I would like to see gold continue to consolidate around the $1200 level before once again moving higher. I still believe that gold has broken the back of its four-year bear trend and has now embarked on a long-term bullish trend that could take it to the year 2020. Be sure to watch the Trade Triangles for signals that gold has once again embarked on an upward move. Continue reading "Bull Market Or Bear Market, Which Is It?"

3 For 3 And 3 More To Watch Today

Good day, MarketClub Members! So, what do I mean when I say 3 for 3?

1: Let's start with Apple, Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) - The Trade Triangle technology indicated that the trend was heading lower and Apple was most likely to report disappointing earnings. That is exactly what happened when Apple reported its earnings after the close on 1/26/16. Apple opened lower the next day giving members another winner and profits up to 92% on options trades.

2: Next I recommended that a sidelines position was warranted in Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) as the Trade Triangles were mixed indicating that there was no strong reason to take a position. The trading hours before the close showed Amazon up over 9%. Reality kicked in after the earnings announcement as Amazon gave back all of its earlier gains justifying the sidelines position.

3: Alphabet, Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) - Yesterday a weekly Trade Triangle turned green aligning with the monthly Trade Triangle indicating a long position was warranted. Members were rewarded as Google jumped $40 in after-hours trading giving members another winner.

3 stocks to watch today after they release their earnings after the close are: Continue reading "3 For 3 And 3 More To Watch Today"
