SignalWatch – 4.18.17

April 18th

Evening folks. It was a gloomy day in the markets with all three indexes dropping sharply at the open and closing out the day with losses. But, there were no major news events, nor were the losses eye-popping, so like you hear in many police procedurals, nothing to see here folks, nothing to see. Let’s jump on into tonight’s signals.

GT Momentum

GroupTrader is looking for a new move on Starbucks.

For the first signal of the night, we have SBUX. It had a solid day today, picking up over .5% will pivoting off of support at $57.50. That pivot also confirms a new higher low for us. If it can push through resistance at $58.50, it may make a run at the $59-$60 zone heading into the summer.

This signal was fired off by the GT Momentum Strategy which is part of GroupTrader 3. GroupTrader looks for industry groups that are in a tight rotation and then singles out the most lucrative opportunities out of those groups. SBUX fits the bill and it does indeed look promising.

Next on the docket, Micahel Kors.

CPS5 Trendline Break

Look out below, KORS may be heading lower.

KORS has just moved below its bullish trendline established back in February. After failing to move through the 50 SMA, KORS looks bound to test support at $36. Volume is light though, see if we see a big spike, a reversal move is possible.

This signal was kicked off by the CPS5 Trendline Break Strategy which is part of out CPRM6 Module. CPRM6 is all about chart patterns. Over two hundred of them in fact. It finds every single variation of ever single pattern in every single chart that you select. It even has the audacity to mark the charts for you. Outrageous. But seriously, its pretty cool. Chart patterns are one of the oldest tools in the technical analysis toolbox, but still one of the most reliable. So do yourself a favor and quit marking charts and let CPRM6 do the leg work.

Last up, CMA.

ACT EOD

Check it, as the Beastie Boys would say, on CMA. It looks ready for a new bullish bounce and ACT2 agrees. It has bounced off of support close to $65 and volume is hopping. ACT has also found that it is beginning a new cycle of buying, which is ACT’s game. If things go according to plan and ACT called this one right, looks like the 50 SMA may see some action at $70.

That’s it for tonight folks. Have a good one and catch you all in the manana.
