5 Trade ideas excerpted from the detailed analysis and plan for premium subscribers

Choice Hotels, Ticker: $CHH

Choice Hotels, $CHH, had been falling along trend support since the beginning of March. Last Monday it broke that support and was bought , printing a Hollow Red Candle, showing the intraday strength. It then rose the rest of the week closing over resistance, and making a higher high. The RSI is moving up through the mid line as the MACD climbs, both supporting more upside.

Dril-Quip, Ticker: $DRQ

Dril-Quip, $DRQ, had fallen along with Oil, with trend resistance driving it down. August accelerated that culminating in a bottom last Monday. Since then the price has rising back through resistance and over the 50 day SMA. With a rising RSI, now in the bullish zone, and rising MACD, look for more upside.

Fiserv, Ticker: $FISV

Fiserv, $FISV, has been moving higher along a rising channel since October 2014. A great long term stock. It spent most of the time in the top half of the channel, with only the 2 sell offs in October 2014 and last week driving toward the bottom. Despite the drop and recovery last week the SMA's continue to show a smooth rise higher. The RSI is back at the mid line and rising with the MACD turning up , moving towards a bullish cross. And there is room to the top of the channel for a good short term profit.

Infosys, Ticker: $INFY

Infosys, $INFY, had been moving in a very broad channel until pulling back. The bottom last Monday closed a gap from mid July and the recover closed smaller gaps higher. The last 3 days have exhibited a bullish 3 Advancing White Soldiers pattern, calling for more upside price movement. The bullish and rising RSI and the MACD turning back higher both support that case too.

JD.com, Ticker: $JD

JD.com, $JD, had built a Cup and Handle pattern over the last year. But that pattern failed when the price broke below 28 three weeks ago. The stock then retraces the entire leg higher from December with the low last Monday and finally bounced. The stock is now building energy as it consolidates under resistance. The RSI is moving back higher and the MACD is crossing up. Both would support a move higher, but wait for a break of price over the resistance line.

After reviewing over 1,000 charts, I have found some good setups for the week. These were selected and should be viewed in the context of the broad Market Macro picture reviewed Friday which, heading into the unofficial last week of Summer sees the equity markets have dodged a bullet, but still need to prove they have the strength to continue and not get pulled lower.

Elsewhere look for Gold to continue to bounce in its downtrend while Crude Oil continues higher. The US Dollar Index is biased to the upside in consolidation while US Treasuries are biased lower. The Shanghai Composite and Emerging Markets both look to continue their bounce in the downtrends, and may turn into reversals.

Volatility looks to remain elevated keeping the bias lower for the equity index ETF's SPY, IWM and QQQ, despite their rebounds higher. Their charts all show signs of both promise to the upside but further risk or another turn lower. Best to keep all long trades on a tight leash. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad'em well.

Spring break is coming up and many of you are either looking to go to Florida and escape your family or take your family to Florida to escape the cold.  For yo, finding the best deal on a hotel is what it is all about.  For the rest of you poor folks staying at home and continuing to manage your portfolios this post is for you.

The chart above of Choice Hotels ($CHH) shows a stock that has been in an uptrend since coming out of a base in June.  The ensuing rising channel held it until it moved above the top in late February.  This change of character led to a consolidating pullback in a bull flag.  And the price is breaking above the bull flag Monday.  

An aggressive trader could buy the stock now using the low of the flag as a stop.  The leg from  about 58 to 64.50 into the flag would target a Measured move higher to 68.50 on the next leg higher.  A more conservative view would be to wait for a new all-time high, over 64.50.

The rest of the chart supports owning this stock.  The RSI is running higher in the bullish zone while the MACD is about to cross up.  The Bollinger Bands® are starting to open up as well, allowing a move.  And finally the parallel and rising SMA's show a strong trend up.  

So now you can participate in picking a hotel along with your traveling friends.  Only you might come out of the experience with a fatter wallet.

During the last half of August Choice hotels, $CHH, stock had an incredible run higher. 17 days in a row moving higher. Since the start of September though it has pulled back but is leveling. Will it make another 17 day run? Maybe. Take a look.

The chart above shows 3 technical reasons to look for higher prices. First, the AB=CD pattern should it continue higher from here would target a move to 60.20. Next the pullback was shallow, retracing only 38.2% of the prior leg higher. This is a sign of strength. Third the momentum indicator RSI is bottoming and settling in the bullish zone, and may be moving higher. All that is left now is for price to confirm by moving over the 53.20 trigger.
