Helmerich & Payne Inc. (HP)

Oil/gas drilling and exploration company Helmerich & Payne has currently found support at the 50% Fibonacci retracement level of a 3-month uptrend which saw price action rally 30%. With oversold stochastics crossing over and RSI turning bullish; a price target around $26.50 towards the underside of the broken trendline should see a quick ~6% gain -where a short position can be initiated. Stop-loss: close below $24.44

Anaren Microwave, Inc. (ANEN)

Manufacturer of wireless communication components Anaren has broken an 18-month trendline which saw stock price rally some 170% in that period. The broken trendline may signal a trend-reversal. However, price action held support at the 50% Fibonacci retracement level and is currently testing the underside of the trendline. Stop-loss for a long position: close below $17.15; stop-loss for a short position: close above $18.50.

Diodes Inc. (DIOD)

Integrated circuits and semiconductor manufacturer Diodes is beginning to look weak after a breakdown of the 2-year uptrend support. Initial price target for a short-sell position is the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level.

3Com Corp. (COMS)

3Com has broken support of an 18-month uptrend but has found support at the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level at $4.01. Immediate resistance at $4.25 beneath the underside of the broken trendline. Stop-loss close below $4. Q2 fiscal year 2007 results scheduled to be released on December 20: http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/061212/20061212005639.html

Blockbuster, Inc. (BBI)

BlockBuster seems to have consolidated a 4½ year downtrend into a Double Bottom formation. Price target for a Double Bottom formation can be measured by taking the height of the Double Bottom 'W' pattern and projecting it upwards; - a price target of around $6.75, or a gain of around 27%. The stock has been up some 16% already since CEO John Antioco spent $1 million in a share buy-back a month ago: http://biz.yahoo.com/fool/061128/116473652614.html?.v=1

AT&T, Inc. (T)

After 6-month rally gaining 44%, AT&T seems like it has run into a double-top formation on declining volume; -stochastics are signalling overbought conditions and are poised to cross lower. Enter short-sell for a possible pullback towards initial support at the 14.6% and 23.6% Fibonacci retracements at $33.43 and $32.45. Buy on break and close above $35 with price target towards Fibonacci extension at $37.96.

Citigroup Inc. (C)

Citigroup surged almost 4% on heavy volume before closing at a gain of 2.3% on speculation that CFO Sallie Krawcheck is departing the bank. The spike in price action saw a breakout of a 2-month consolidation range with resistance at $50.95, which should now serve as support. OBV has yet to confirm the breakout; -perhaps indicating a possible pullback in price before smart money begins buying into management reorganisation news rather than speculation. Fibonacci extensions from the mid-July uptrend project price targets and resistance at $52.48, $54.44 and $60.08.

International Business Machines (IBM) – Negative Divergence

Shares in IBM have rallied 30% in a period of just over 4 months. However, recent gains in price action have been occurring on weakening RSI and declining MACD implying a bearish negative divergence. Overbought stochastics have crossed signalling a sell condition. Initial price target at 14.6% Fibonacci retracement of the rally. Further strong support at the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level coinciding with the rally trendline support and a previous gap support at ~$89.41.

HealthExtras, Inc. (HLEX)

Health care insurance broker and pharmacy services provider HealthExtras has broken out of a 3-month downtrend which saw stock price decline 55% in that period. Currently the breakout is trading between the 14.6% and 23.6% Fibonacci extension levels. Stop-loss close below $21.

Boston Scientific Corp. (BSX)

Cardiovascular, endosurgery and neuromodulation medical devices developer Boston Scientific has seen stock price decline some 216% in a steady downtrend over the past 3 years. However, price action today has just managed to close marginally above the trendline breaking out of the downtrend. Perhaps a more plausible signal of a trend-reversal will be a test of the 14.6% Fibonacci extension level. Stents, which are tube-like, metal-mesh structures are placed into the arteries of heart attack survivors and high-risk patients causing expansion for blood flow. Variants include drug-coated blood-thinning stents which prevent clotting. However, the FDA is probing the drug-coated version of these stents as they may ironically be causing the reversal effect of creating blood clots leading to heart attacks. Deutsche Bank has a Buy rating, downplaying any significance: http://money.cnn.com/2006/12/05/news/companies/stent/index.htm

Bank of America (BAC) – Negative Divergence

Bank of America has recently surpassed rival Citigroup to become the largest US retail bank in terms of market capitalization valuing the firm at $243.71 billion. An 11-month uptrend has seen stock price rally some 40% hitting new all-time highs. However, the recent all-time highs in price action have been occurring with declining RSI and declining MACD; -implying a bearish negative divergence. An initial price target for a short-sell position would be at the 14.6% Fibonacci retracement level coinciding with the uptrend support. On break of the trendline, other levels of support may include $52 and the 38.2% Fibonacci level. Stop-loss: close above $55.

Dow Jones

The Dow has broken and closed beneath the support of an uptrend which saw a rally gaining some 15% in just 4 months. The breakdown of the trend has currently found support at the 14.6% Fibonacci retracement level, or 12116. This breakdown may mark the beginning of a trend-reversal with a progressive downtrend towards support at the 38.2% Fibonacci level; -so as long price action does not trade and close back above the trendline at around 12250. It may be worth noticing how the RSI trendline flipped from support to resistance coinciding with the commencement of negative divergence of MACD against price action as a possible warning of the weakening trend.

Exxon Mobil Corp. - (XOM)

Exxon has seemingly broken a short 2-month uptrend which saw stock price rally some 18%. Should price action trade and close below the trendline, old support will become new resistance with Fibonacci retracement levels serving as support levels. Initial price target at 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level ~$70.64. Stop loss close above $73.50.

Nektar Therapeutics - (NKTR)

Biopharmaceutical and drug delivery technologies company Nektar Therapeutics has been declining for seven months losing some 80% in stock price. The decline is much correlated with the delay in launching insulin inhaled drug Exubera managed by marketing partner Pfizer. However, a recent breakout of the downtrend occurring three trading sessions ago may signal the beginning of a trend-reversal.

JetBlue Airways Corp. - (JBLU)

JetBlue has completed a Double Bottom formation reversing a 32-month downtrend which saw stock price decline some 122% in that period. A usual price target for a Double Bottom formation can be measured by taking the height of the Double Bottom 'W' pattern and projecting it upwards; - a price target of around $16.75. However, RSI is indicating that conditions are currently overbought; possible pullback towards supports at ~$13 and ~$12.15 before resumption of the trend. Barron's interviewed Richard Arvedlund, founder of Cypress Capital Management who picks JetBlue believing it stands to profit from falling oil prices and rates: http://biz.yahoo.com/seekingalpha/061112/20388_id.html?.v=1

Dell, Inc. - (DELL)

Dell has been in a downtrend for over the past 18 months declining some 120% in that period. However, a breakout of the downtrend occurring end of October has seen stock price beginning a possible trend-reversal. Long-term long. Dell reports earnings next week Thursday.

XM Satellite Radio Holdings, Inc. - (XMSR)

XMSR surged more than 15% Monday after the company reported a narrower third-quarter loss and issued a better than expected forecast for 2006. However, stock price of the satellite radio service company has been in a steep decline over the past 14 months shedding some 236%. Today’s news has broken-out from the downtrend and may signal a trend-reversal. A close above $14 may complete a double-bottom formation for an initial price target of $17; from then on, seek a price target towards the 38.2% Fibonacci advancement level at around $20.50. Stop-loss close below $11.

Builders FirstSource, Inc. - (BLDR)

Operating principally in south eastern US, Builders FirstSource, supplier of structural building materials to homebuilders, has been in a downtrend for over 6 months eroding some 70% in price action. A month ago, price action broke-out from the downtrend and seems to be trading sideways; possibly a trend-reversal. Go long; stop-loss close below $15.

NASDAQ-100 (QQQQ)

The NASDAQ-100 Index Tracking Stock of the largest non-financial companies listed on the NASDAQ has broken below the uptrend support of the late summer rally which saw a 20% gain in price action in just over 3 months. The past two trading sessions have been unable to sustain a close above the uptrend support which now seems to be acting as resistance. A weekly close below this trendline may indicate a trend-reversal. Enter short-sell position for a target towards the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement support level of the uptrend. Stop-loss: close above $43.

Time Warner, Inc. (TWX)

Media and entertainment company, Time Warner, has rallied some 20% since summer and is now approaching a crucial $20 level. This is the third time in 4 years $20 has been tested, serving as resistance twice before. Short-sell now for a possible price target towards the primary uptrend support of the summer rally. Stop-loss: close above $20. Go long on close above $20.

Texas Instruments, Inc. (TXN) - Head & Shoulders

Texas Instruments seems like it has formed a possible bearish Head & Shoulders top pattern. Neckline support at $31 was broken on Tuesday when the chipmaker announced disappointing sales. A current retest of the Neckline is serving as resistance. Enter short-sell position now near $31 for a possible price target towards a Gap support at $28.50 or a Gap fill at $28. Stop-loss: close above $31.

Infosys Technologies Ltd. (INFY)

Indian technology services, consulting and IT outsourcing firm Infosys, continued on Wednesday to announce profit and revenue surpassing analysts' projections; revising its guidance higher. However, the recent 62% gain in price action over a 4-month rally is starting to look overbought. A crossover of stochastics may serve as an entry into a short position for a price target towards the uptrend support; adding to the position on close below the trendline. Stop loss: close above $53.50. On Thursday, Jefferies reiterated a Buy rating with a $57 target.

Caterpillar, Inc. (CAT)

Beautifully playing with Fibonacci levels, Dow 30 component Caterpillar is attempting to breakout from a 6-month downtrend. Should the current “Dow to 12,000” bullish sentiment continue, CAT may have a possible 4% to 7% upside.

Overbought Financials (MER, GS, MS)

After a recent strong rally in financials, Merrill Lynch, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley seem much overbought as they hover at their 52-week highs. An entry now into short-sell position for a possible 5% pullback in all three stocks may serve as a low-risk entry. Stop loss: Perhaps a $1 close above their respective current 52-week highs.

Carnival Corp. (CCL)

Global cruise vacations operator Carnival is currently looking overbought. Today’s session closed just shy of the day high $48.75. This level has served as resistance and support before; a short position at current prices for a target towards the uptrend support may provide a low risk entry should this level act as resistance once more. Stop loss: close above $50. Matrix Research has downgraded Carnival from Hold to Sell.

Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (WMT)

Over the last 28 months, the $50 level for Wal-Mart has served as defining resistance and support levels of bull versus bear. With current price action again hitting this $50 level as resistance and RSI and stochastics overbought, now be a good entry into a short position; -adding to the position on break and close below the uptrend. Stop loss: break and close above $50.

Advanced Micro Devices - (AMD)

Microprocessor manufacturer AMD was downgraded today by ThinkEquity; as a consequence, price action traded lower. However, the move lower was enough to break an uptrend of a 60%-gain rally which lasted 2-months. OBV has also confirmed the breakdown. The trend-reversal may find support at Fibonacci retracement levels ~$24, ~$22.50 and $21.

Nvidia Corp. - (NVDA)

After an 80% rally in 3 months, NVDA has today broken the uptrend. Short a possible climb back towards the trendline at ~$30; “support has become resistance” trend-reversal. Sell.

Franklin Resources, Inc (BEN)

Asset management firm Franklin Templeton along with the other financials have recently hit fresh highs. A 30% rally since late July currently seems to be consolidating into a small bearish Diamond Top formation. Bullish signs: a golden cross (the shorter moving average crossing above the longer moving average) has occurred and a modest buy-volume spike. Bearish signs: RSI and stochastics seem overbought. OBV seems like it is topping; since volume precedes price, trade in direction of this indicator.

Humana, Inc (HUM)

Health insurance and healthcare plans provider Humana recently hit a 52-week high. In two months it has rallied some 33%. A recent steeper sub-uptrend beginning second week of Sep ended 4 trading sessions ago and price action has currently found support at the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level of the subtrend, or ~$65.50. Stochastics still seem overbought; a possible price target of ~$61.50 on break and close below the broader uptrend at $65.

Dow Jones - Bearish Rising Wedge

The Dow looks as though it has completed a Rising Wedge formation. This pattern is bearish and usually occurs on diminishing volume. Textbooks suggest that the pattern must have at least five touches; – that is, tests of the support and resistance trend lines should occur at least five times in total. Volume should increase as the breakdown increases in magnitude. It’s typical to see a 5% decline in price after the wedge formation. Should this hold true, a price target of 10,925 may be a possibility. Watch Fibonacci retracement levels for support.

Dow Jones - Speculative Head & Shoulders

FedEx Corp. (FDX)

FedEx seems as if it is forming a bullish Double-Bottom pattern. The two-month downtrend which began in early July seems to have been broken; today saw a breakout which may signal a bullish trend reversal. Surpassing resistance at $105 will confirm the Double-Bottom pattern setting up a price target of $110. It may be worth noting that the 200-moving average has crossed above the 50-day moving average--known as a “Death Cross”; since long-term indicators carry more weight, this may indicate a bearish signal.

SanDisk Corp. (SNDK)

Since gapping-up over a month ago, SanDisk has rallied almost 60%. However, with overbought stochastics at their highest attempting a crossover and RSI hovering above 70 for the first time in months, overbought signals seem abound. Historically accompanying more sell volume than buy, $60 has interchanged between support and resistance and is currently serving as resistance. A short-sell at current levels near $60 may serve as a low-risk entry to a possible target towards the uptrend support at $55.50-$56. A break and close below the uptrend support may signal the end of the rally and a trend reversal. From then on, watch Fibonacci retracement levels for support.

NVIDIA Corp. (NVDA)

NVIDIA has rallied some 60% in just over a month. Along the way, stochastics have been signalling overbought conditions whilst RSI remained moderate. However, during the past couple of trading sessions RSI has been hovering above 70 for the first time since the rally began signalling overbought conditions. OBV has been declining for the most part of the rally implying a negative divergence; smart money may be offloading. A failure to sustain a close above $27 to maintain the uptrend may indicate a trend reversal. Watch Fibonacci retracement levels for support beginning with $25.

AMEX Oil Index (XOI) - Negative Divergence

During early Sep and late Oct 2005, the MACD indictor formed a negative divergence against price action for nearly 2 months; subsequently the AMEX Oil Index plunged. The same negative divergence of MACD against price action on a similar 2 month scale is currently in progress beginning early July 2006. A break of support at 1180/1160 may signal a move lower on a similar scale as during Oct 2005 bringing price action down to the lower end of the trading range; oil stocks may be poised to fall.

Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM)

ExxonMobil recently hit an all-time high of over $70 but has been unable to close at or above that level. A 2-month uptrend driven by record $10US billion earnings profit news due to record oil prices seems intact. However indictors such as the RSI are signalling well overbought conditions, and overbought stochastics have crossed attempting to turn lower. Short-sell on break of the uptrend for a lower-risk entry. Fibonacci retracement levels of the trend may serve as possible support levels. Stop-loss: break & close above $70. Deutsche Bank has a "buy" rating (July 28th) on ExxonMobil with a target price raised from $67 to $75.

Cisco Systems, Inc (CSCO)

Positive earnings news from Cisco sent the stock surging 15%; however price action remained below $20 and OBV is yet to show signs of fresh buying interest. The $20 level has historically served as support and resistance. Should $20 act as resistance again, current market conditions and profit-taking may drive prices lower. The 200-moving average has crossed above the 50-day moving average; since long-term indicators carry more weight, this may indicate a bearish signal.

Dow Jones - Day before the Fed

Today penetrated a 13-day uptrend but managed to close the session resting on the trendline. OBV has been declining since the uptrend began implying a divergence. Stochastics are signalling overbought conditions and have crossed looking to turn lower. Technically, the Dow seems to be weakening and ready to end the current uptrend. However, the Fed’s decision on interest rates tomorrow will of course steer the market.

Gold & Copper - Metals Symmetrical Triangle

After a parabolic rise in commodities, metals copper and gold seem to be consolidating into a Symmetrical Triangle formation. Breakout usually favours the direction of the previous price trend (i.e. upwards); however, the breakout can occur in either direction - trade in the direction of breakout. Gold can be traded using the streetTRACKS Gold ETF listed on the NYSE under symbol GLD. Is there a copper ETF available?

Apple Computer, Inc (AAPL)

The recent uptrend in Apple has been broken due to a sell-off on news that it will probably reduce some of the profits it has posted since 2002 because it improperly accounted for employee stock options. With RSI and stochastics signaling overbought conditions, a short-sell trade to Fibonacci retracement support levels may be possible. The 50% Fibonacci retracement level at $60 also serves as gap support. Stop-loss close above $70.

Bayer AG (BAY)

German drug manufacturer Bayer has recently hit a new 52-week high and may be subject to some profit-taking; overbought stochastics have crossed and may signal lower prices. The recent 2-month uptrend has today been breached. Current prices may provide entry to a possible short position targeting Fibonacci retracement levels. Stop-loss close above $50.

Pfizer, Inc (PFE)

Jeffrey Kindler takes over as Pfizer’s CEO from Henry McKinnell and the stock stages a mini-rally. The previous trading session technically broke and closed below the uptrend support of the mini-rally and with RSI overbought, and overbought stochastics crossing looking to turn lower, now may be a good entry for a short position. Watch Fibonacci retracement levels for targets. Stop-loss if close above $27.

FedEx Corp. (FDX)

Since breaking an 8-month uptrend on July 21st, FedEx is currently trading below the 200-day moving average. $106 has served as resistance before during late December 2005 and as support during late May 2006. Currently, this level, $106, is again serving as resistance and is also the 50% Fibonacci retracement level of the 8-month uptrend. With recent heavy sell volume, bearish until firm close above $109 or 38.2% Fibonacci level.
