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

Biogen, Ticker: $BIIB

Biogen, $BIIB, reported earnings Thursday morning and after moved higher to resistance. Friday broke that to the upside making another higher high. This is the second higher high, but still takes place in the long downtrending channel. Positive but with some work left. As it moves up the RSI is in the bullish zone and rising while the MACD is moving higher supporting the upside. Look for continuation Monday to participate to the upside.

KKR, Ticker: $KKR

KKR, $KKR, will report earnings before the market opens Monday. Heading into that event the chart looks promising for a break out. it made a higher low and is approaching resistance. a move over that would make for a higher high and confirm a reversal. The RSI is bullish and rising while the MACD is crossed up and rising, also supporting more upside. Look for a positive reaction to participate to the upside.

ON Semiconductor, Ticker: $ON

ON Semiconductor, $ON, made a bottom in February and has been moving higher since. the last two weeks it has rounded into consolidation and the Bollinger Bands® are squeezing. This is often a precursor to a move in price. The RSI is in the bullish zone and the MACD flattened after a fall and now approaching a positive cross. Look for a push over resistance to participate in the upside.

Web.com, Ticker: $WEB

Web.com, $WEB, is coming out of a bottoming pattern, having back to back higher highs and higher lows. Coming into the week it is at resistance, trying to make another higher high. The RSI is now in the bullish zone and rising with the MACD crossed up and rising. These support more upside.

Zillow Group, Ticker: $ZG

Zillow Group, $ZG, bounced off of a bottom in February, making the familiar 'V' shaped recovery. It met resistance at the consolidation zone from November and December before a pullback to a shallower low. Another touch at resistance fell back farther but has also recovered to that resistance. The RSI is in the bullish zone and the MACD crossed and rising as it hits there again on a strong candle Friday. Look for a push through resistance to participate to the upside.

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 last week of April the Equity indexes are showing signs of rotation out of the QQQ and SPY and into the IWM.

Elsewhere look for Gold to consolidate in a $30 range while Crude Oil continues higher. The US Dollar Index continues to test the bottom of a wide consolidation range while US Treasuries are biased lower. The Shanghai Composite and Emerging Markets are biased to the downside with risk of the Emerging Market longer term uptrend re-exerting itself. Volatility looks to remain subdued and with a bias lower keeping the bias higher for the equity index ETF’s SPY, IWM and QQQ, despite the moves last week.

Their charts are mixed with the IWM just strong all around and the SPY strong on the weekly timeframe but with cracks on the daily. The QQQ is the weakest on the daily and shows consolidation on the weekly. Perhaps next week rotates back into the QQQ. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.

Allstate, $ALL, moved lower sharply in August 2015, losing 20% of its value in about 3 weeks.

Fiserv, Ticker: $FISV

Fiserv, $FISV, has had a long trend higher over the past 4 years. Along the way it has pulled back to the 200 day SMA and bounced several times, something it did again last week.

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 last week of January saw equity markets which seemed to have found some footing but still having to prove themselves.

Elsewhere looked for Gold to move higher in its downtrend while Crude Oil bounced and will show us if it wants a reversal. The US Dollar Index was on the edge of a break out higher while US Treasuries were biased lower short term in the move higher. The Shanghai Composite was consolidating in the downtrend while Emerging Markets paused in their move lower.

Volatility looked to remain elevated but drifting lower keeping the bias lower for the equity index ETF's SPY, IWM and QQQ, but loosening the vice grip. The ETF's themselves all looked to continue the bounce in their downtrends with some work left to show that the worst is over. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad'em well.
