Earnings Quarter Impact Over. Decision Week Ahead!

DOW Friday closing price - 18432

The DOW generated the first red weekly close in 5 weeks, suggesting that the buying spree that caused the new all-time high to be made 3 weeks ago has subsided or at least come to a pause. The index closed in the lower half of the week's trading range, suggesting further downside below last week's low at 18368 will be seen this week.

The red weekly close was disappointing to the bulls, given that the earnings reports on DOW stocks this past week (13 of them) were mostly better than expected but at no time was the index able to get above the previous week's high in spite of the fact that the index closed near the highs of the week the previous week.

It does need to be mentioned that the DOW is mimicking what happened in 2013 and 2014, having generated a red close and near the lows of the week (in the latter part of July) after new all-time highs and closes near or on the highs of the week occurred the week before. In both of those cases, a July to August swoon of anywhere from 4.8% to 5.2% occurred.

To the upside and on an intra-week basis, the DOW now shows minor resistance at 18542 and minor to decent at 18622. Above that level, general resistance is expected to be found at 18700.

To the downside and on an intra-week basis, the DOW shows no support until the 17713 level is reached. Nonetheless, on a daily closing basis, minor but likely pivotal support will be found at the previous all-time high daily close at 18315 and then at the 52-week daily closing high at 18100. On a weekly closing basis, support will be found at the previous all-time high weekly close at 18272.

The DOW has now reported earnings on 25 of its 30 stocks, suggesting that earnings will no longer be considered a catalyst for the short-term. The ISM Index and Jobs reports are due out this week and they could change things but the reality is that neither of those reports have been catalytic of late, meaning that the traders are likely to start trading the index technically and perhaps seasonally (4 of the past 5 years the index has corrected in the July to August period) for the next few weeks.

The big key in the DOW this week will be the previous all-time high daily close at 18315 and weekly close at 18272. Closes below those levels would give a failure to follow through signal and suggest that the seasonal correction will occur. Any new high above the recent all-time high at 18622 would mean the seasonal correction will not occur and further upside would then likely ensue.

Probabilities slightly favor the bears.

SPX Friday closing price - 2173

The SPX made another new intra-week all-time high this past week, having gotten above the previous week's high at 2175. Nonetheless, the index did not produce a new all-time high weekly close, having generated a red weekly close on Friday, meaning that in spite of the new all-time intra-week high the door remains open for the seasonal July-August swoon that has occurred 4 of the past 5 years.

Nonetheless, the SPX closed near the highs of the week and further upside above last week's high at 2177 is expected to be seen, meaning that the chart action this past week is not yet fully supporting a seasonal correction as further upside, especially on a daily and weekly closing basis, would diminish the chances of the index having the 4.6% and 4.8% correction that was seen in 2013 and 2014.

To the upside and on an intra-week basis, the SPX show no resistance above as it is into new all-time highs. On a daily closing basis though, minor resistance is found at 2175. Above 2177, there is no resistance but many analysts had a 2200 objective for this year.

To the downside and on an intra-week basis, the SPX shows minor support at 2159 and at 2155. Below that level there is no support until minor to perhaps decent support at 2074. On a daily closing basis though, the previous all-time daily closing high at 2131 and previous all-time weekly closing high at 2126 will be considered support.

The SPX has spent 12 days in a row trading in a very narrow trading range between 2155 and 2177 with all daily closes being between 2161 to 2175. The action strongly suggests that the momentum to the upside has stalled. With no further earnings reports of consequence due out, if the ISM Index and Jobs reports do not further nurture the bulls, a correction to the overbought condition is likely to occur, as well as a retest of the previous all-time highs, especially since there is a seasonal correction period ahead.

It does seem that the key in the SPX this week will be a new daily closing high above 2175. A close above that level would suggest the seasonal correction will not occur, especially since any higher close would come in August.

Probabilities very slightly favor the bears.

NASDAQ Friday closing price - 5162

The NASDAQ made a new 8-month intra-week high and generated a new 54-week weekly closing high on Friday, having gone up to the 5176 high seen last November and closing above all but the all-time weekly closing high seen in July of last year at 5212. The index closed near the highs of the week and further upside above last week's high at 5175 is expected to be seen this week.

The NASDAQ was assisted this week by the earnings reports of 3 of the big 5 Tech companies (AAPL, AMZN, and GOOGL) that came in better than expected and that generated rallies of 5.4%, 1.9% and 4% (respectively) above the previous week's closes.

Nonetheless, the NASDAQ bulls were not able to break the November intra-week high at 5176 in spite of getting up to that level at mid-day on Friday (due to the reports on AMZN and GOOGL), having then languished below that level for the last 4 hours of trading and closing in the mid-point of the day's trading range, suggesting the selling interest there was strong. The question likely to be asked on Monday is "will the bulls be able to garner additional buying interest without any additional fundamental stimulus?"

To the upside and on an intra-week basis, the NASDAQ shows decent as well as short-term pivotal resistance at 5176. Above that level there is no intra-week resistance until the all-time high at 5234 is reached. On a daily closing basis, resistance is found at 5218 and on a weekly closing basis, resistance is found at 5210, both considered major.

To the downside and on an intra-week basis, the NASDAQ shows very minor support at 5028 and minor again at 5002 but that is strengthened slightly with the psychological support at 5000. Below that level, there is minor to perhaps decent support at 4945, minor to decent at 4908 and decent at 4871. On a daily closing basis though, minor support will be found at the previous 52-week daily closing high at 5162, then minor to perhaps decent between 5133 and 5137 and then nothing until decent daily close support is found at 4923.

The bulls in the NASDAQ are now "committed" to making new all-time highs, especially since the other 2 indexes have already done it and more importantly the Tech Sector seems to have recovered with some stocks making new all-time highs already. The momentum is there to carry the index higher but with no support having been built on the way up (9 days in a row of higher lows than the previous day and 19 days in a row without any support of consequence having been built) the bulls can ill afford even a pause as any stoppage of the momentum would likely bring about a correction of consequence.

As such, if 5176 is not broken on Monday and the index drops below the 200 10-minute MA, currently at 5126 (which is a line that has not been broken to the downside for the past 20 days), the bulls will miss "a beat" and that would likely be the beginning of their downfall to the seasonal correction that normally starts the end of July. On a continuing possible negative note though, the NASDAQ continues to show 3 gaps to the upside over the past 4 weeks (between 4692 and 4732, between 4889 and 4901 and between 4958 and 4976) and anything more than 2 gaps usually means that at the very least the last gap down at 4958 has become a magnet that at some point will draw the index back down. In addition, the Death Cross of the 50-week MA under the under the 100-week MA occurred 2 weeks ago and the last time it happened was in 2008 and it brought about a 1208 point drop in the 7 months after the cross ensued.

The NASDAQ got an unexpected push higher this past week when AAPL, AMZN, and GOOGL reported better than expected earnings. Now the bulls need to turn that good fortune into a new all-time high. Anything less would be a big disappointment. Probabilities favor the bulls this week.


The indexes gave mixed signals this past week, with the DOW closing lower, the SPX closing slightly lower (but considered unchanged) and the NASDAQ closing higher. The Tech industry seems to have gotten its "mojo" back with 3 of its most important companies (AAPL, AMZN, and GOOGL) reporting better than expected earnings and AMZN and GOOGL making new all-time weekly closing highs. With the Tech industry leading the way again, it can be surmised that the market is into a new leg upward.

This week, the market will receive the 2 most important economic reports of the month with the ISM Index on Monday and the Jobs report on Friday. Those reports may (and likely will) set up the market for what is to happen the next 4 weeks.

The July-August seasonal correction has occurred on 4 of the past 5 years but what will likely be decided this week is whether this year will be the 1 exception or the 4 that occurred. Mixed signals are being given in the Indexes as the DOW suggests that it will, the NASDAQ suggests that it won't and the SPX seems to be waiting to see which one is right.

Stock Analysis/Evaluation
CHART Outlooks

With mixed signal given in the indexes, there is no consensus this week as to whether the July-August swoon will occur or whether this year will be the exception. As such, there are no new mentions in the newsletter this week.

Nonetheless, the mentions given last week remain viable as the charts of those stocks do suggest that the downside will occur even if the indexes head higher. In addition, both mentions that remain offer very good risk/reward ratios, making the trades worth doing even if the end result is a loss in either of the trades.

SALES

MS Friday Closing Price - 28.73

MS generated a negative reversal week, having made a new 8-month high but then turning around to close in the red and near the lows of the week suggesting further downside below last week's low at 28.59 will be seen this week.

MS has been trading below the 200-week MA, currently 29.80, for the past 7+ months and though the probabilities remain high that it will touch the line before heading lower, it is possible that the high this past week at 29.37 will be high enough to suggest the line has been tested successfully.

To the upside and on an intra-week basis, MS shows minor resistance at 29.49, a bit stronger at the $30 demilitarized zone and then decent at 31.04 from a strong spike high seen in February 2011.

To the downside and on an intra-week basis, MS very minor support at 27.77 and then minor to perhaps decent at 25.85. Further minor to perhaps decent support is found at 24.23, a bit stronger at 23.51 and decent, as well as pivotal at 23.11. Using the weekly chart, a strong case can be made for a drop back down to 25.85 and a decent case made for a drop back down to 23.83.

In spite of the better than expected earnings a week ago Wednesday, MS bulls were not able to get up to the MA line this past week and with the indexes likely starting the July-August swoon this week, the probabilities do not favor the bulls being able to do more than get up to the line (not break it).

MS has been on a mid-term uptrend for the past 7 months but the 21.15 low seen in February has only been tested successfully once with a drop down to 23.15 and if the bulls are unable to get above the MA line on this occasion, a second retest is likely to occur. With no support of consequence until 25.85 is reached and even then that support not being anything more than minor to perhaps decent, the probabilities favor further downside with 23.87-24.23 being the likely downside objective.

Sales of MS between 29.69 and 29.96 and using a stop loss at 31.14 and having a downside objective of 24.23 will offer a 3.7-1 risk/reward ratio.

My rating on the trade is a 3.5 (on a scale of 1-5 with 5 being the highest).

IBM Friday Closing Price - 160.62

IBM generated a negative reversal week, having made a new 52-week high but then closing in the red and on the lows of the week, suggesting further downside below last week's low at 160.03 will be seen this week. With the stock having been on a tear the previous 4 weeks, the negative reversal is likely to be seen as the stock having found a top to this rally, albeit perhaps only temporary top.

IBM is due for a decent correction, having rallied from 116.90 low to previous week's high at 162.17, a 28% rally and having rallied 13% (from 142.50 to 163.60) over the past 5 weeks alone without any support being built on the way up. Nonetheless, the stock remains under the 200-week MA, currently at 173.45, meaning the stock is still in a long-term bearish scenario, not only chart-wise but fundamentally, given that the company seems to be "getting old and not coming up with new products".

During this entire rally, IBM had not run into an "established" area of resistance that would offer a base from which the bears could make a stand but this past week the stock did get up to 163.60, which does represent an area of resistance between 163.65 and 165.17 that was built over a period of 6 months between October 2014 and March 2015 and that is considered the first area of resistance that the stock has seen over the past 4 weeks. This area of resistance caused a drop of $16 to occur the last time it was reached. With the July-August swoon that likely started last week, it does make the stock an attractive short.

To the upside and on an intra-week basis, IBM shows minor resistance at 163.09 and then minor to decent from 164.99 to 165.59. Above that level, decent resistance is found at 173.78. On a weekly closing basis though, resistance is decent between 163.69 and 165.09.

To the downside and on an intra-week basis, IBM shows minor but likely short-term pivotal support at 157.89 and then nothing until minor to decent support between 149.52 and 150.50.

IBM is a DOW company and sensitive to the moves of the index. With the DOW likely to see a July-August swoon of about 5%, it would suggest that the stock will drop back down to at least the $157 level. By the same token, the stock has been on a well-defined downtrend (contrary to the index) and as such could see stronger moves down than simply 5%. The weekly chart suggests that the $150 level could be tested on this correction. That level is certainly a psychological magnet, especially given the $116 low seen in February.

Having generated a negative reversal week, last week's high at 163.60 can now be considered a minor to decent resistance area and will be used as a stop loss point. A rally back up to 162.14 is now likely to occur before much further downside is seen.

Sales of IBM between 162.00 and 162.14 and using a stop loss at 163.70 and having a downside objective of 150.00 will offer an 7-1 risk/reward ratio.

My rating on the trade is a 3.5 (on a scale of 1-5 with 5 being the highest).

Updates on Held Stocks

AAPL reported better than expected earnings and as such generated a positive reversal week, having gone below the previous week's low and closing above the previous week's high. The stock closed on the highs of the week and further upside above last week's high at 104.55 is expected to be seen. The bulls were able to break above the 200-day MA, currently at 103.65, and close above the line 2 days in a row, suggesting the downtrend is now over. Nonetheless, the stock had been under the line for the past 51 weeks and had broken the line twice before (once for 1 day and once for 2 days) and then moved back down, meaning that what the stock does on Monday could be indicative. Very minor intra-week resistance is found at 105.85 but generally speaking there is no resistance of consequence close-by, suggesting that if the bulls (and the market) continue upward that a rally to the next minor intra-week resistance at 109.43 could be seen. Decent resistance is found at 112.30. Minor support is found between 101.89 and 102.00 and then a slightly bit stronger at 100.15. Decent, as well as pivotal support is found at 96.42. Probabilities favor the bulls, especially if further upside is seen on Monday.

ARNA once again "spun its wheels", having generated an inside week and a close in the middle of the week's trading range. The company reports earnings on Wednesday after the market close and the traders will likely wait for that report to decide what to do. Support is decent between 1.60 and 1.67 and resistance is now found at 1.82. The probabilities favor the stock trading within that range until the earnings report comes out. The 200-day MA is currently at 1.80 and a close above that level after the earnings report comes out will be a strong positive.

ENG generated a breakout this past week, on both the daily and weekly closing chart, having closed above the 13-month high daily and weekly close at 1.40/1.39. In addition, the stock closed above the 200-week MA, currently at 1.39, for the first time since March 2015, meaning that if the breakout is confirmed this week with another close above that resistance level, it will mean that the long-term downtrend is over and that a recovery phase will occur. The stock generated a negative reversal day on Friday as well as a close near the lows of the day, suggesting the first course of action for the week will likely be a retest of the breakout at 1.39/1.40. By the same token, the stock did close in the upper half of the week's trading range, suggesting further upside above last week's high at 1.58 will be seen this week. Minor intra-week resistance will be found at 1.64, minor to perhaps decent at 1.74, and decent at 1.88. Decent daily close resistance is found at 1.79. Chart suggests the stock will trade between 1.40 and 1.88 for the next few months. By the same token, the company will report earnings on Thursday before the open and that could be a catalytic event. In fact, if the stock closes below 1.39 next Friday, it will be seen as a false breakout.

FCEL had an uneventful inside week and a close in the middle of the week's trading range, suggesting the traders do not presently have a direction to follow. The high and low for the past 7 weeks, between 5.02 and 6.44 (both seen the same week) are considered pivotal support and resistance. Nonetheless, on 6 of the past 7 weeks the stock has traded "within" that trading range and at this time the probabilities suggest that "more of the same" will be seen, likely until the earnings report on September 7th comes out.

FSLR bulls tried to generate a buy signal but failed, having gone up to the high seen the past 4 weeks at 49.25 with a rally this past week to 49.19 but then turning around to close on the lows of the week, suggesting further downside below last week's low at 46.52 will be seen this week. Minor support is found at 46.14 and then nothing until the double bottom at 43.70/44.04. It was expected that the stock would generate a retest of the double bottom and now, if the bulls can turn the stock around, that retest will have occurred. Minor but possibly short-term pivotal resistance is found at 47.74 and then nothing until the 49.19/49.25 resistance that if broken would be a buy signal, as well as fulfillment of the building of a bottom formation. Probabilities favor the bears this week but it does look like it could become a positive reversal week.

GS generated a second red weekly close in a row and closed on the lows of the week, suggesting further downside below last week's low at 158.65 will be seen this week. The stock shows an open gap at 158.25 that is likely to be closed this week and there is no intra-week support until 157.00 is reached, suggesting a drop down to that level is a high probability this week. Further, but also minor support is found at 156.00 and then a bit stronger at between 153.44 and 153.77. The support between 148.75 and 149.37 remains a viable objective, to be reached within the next 2-4 weeks. Short-term pivotal resistance is now found between 162.17 and 162.29. Probabilities favor the bears this week.

HAL made a new 4-week low this past week but did not break the pivotal intra-week support at 41.70 (had a low of 42.17. The bulls were able to generate a late week rally to close near the highs of the week (but still in the red), suggesting further upside above last week's high at 43.80 will be seen this week. By the same token, the double top at 46.69/46.48 has not yet been tested successfully, suggesting that a rally above 43.80 will likely end up being the required retest. Objective of a break above 43.80 will be 44.92. Nonetheless, the stock now has a clearly defined trading range between 41.70 and 46.69 that whichever is broken will generate follow through of consequence. A break below 41.70 would suggest 37.74 will be targeted while a break above 46.69 that at least the $50 level would be targeted but more likely the 56.52 level where some decent resistance is found. Probabilities favor the stock generating a trading range between 43.41 and 44.92 this week. By the same token, if the bulls are unable to get above 43.91, the selling interest will resume immediately.

INTC generated an inside week and a close in the middle of the week's trading range, suggesting that the traders are waiting to see what the index market does this week before deciding on a direction from here. Nonetheless, chart objectives were the main focus of the traders this past week, given that there was an open gap at 35.06 that occurred right after the earnings report that was highly likely to be closed. The gap was closed on Tuesday with a rally up to 35.23 that was followed by a negative reversal day on Wednesday that suggests closure of the gap was the only objective and once closed the selling resumed. Short-term pivotal resistance is found at 35.30 and pivotal support at the week's low at 33.86. The support (and down to 33.81) is pivotal that if broken would suggest a drop down to the 200-day MA, currently at 32.25, would likely occur. The big question this week is which of the mixed signals in the indexes will take precedence. The DOW points to the July-August swoon occurring and the NAZ pointing to new all-time highs being made. Probabilities are evenly matched this week.

MT reported better than expected earnings this past week and generated a new 10-month high, above 6.14, that suggests the stock has broken out of the sideways trend it has been in for the past 5 months. The stock closed on the highs of the week and further upside above last week's high at 6.55 is expected to be seen this week. Intra-week resistance is found at 6.94 and then nothing until the 9.21-9.70 level is reached. Probabilities favor the stock moving up to 6.94 and then dropping back down to 6.14 to test the breakout area before embarking on a rally to the $9-$10 level over the next 2-3 months. Support is now strongly pivotal at 5.33, meaning the stop loss should be raised to 5.23. Nonetheless, any daily close below the 6.00 level would weaken the chart. Probabilities favor the bulls.

NFX generated another red weekly close but the bulls were able to rally the stock to close near the highs of the week, suggesting further upside above last week's high at 44.11 will be seen this week. Given that the stock made a new 56-month intra-week high at 45.61 3 weeks ago but was unable to follow through, this rally is likely to be simply a retest of the high before new and mid-term selling is seen. Intra-week resistance of some consequence is found at 44.79, which is likely to be the upside objective for this week. If the stock does get above last week's high, last week's low at 41.45 will become decent support that if broken would suggest a minimum drop down to 38.49/38.80. By the same token, a rally above 45.61 would now be an indicative breakout that would suggest the $47-$50 level will be visited. As such, a firm stop loss should be placed at 45.71. Probabilities slightly favor the bears longer term but this week the bulls will have the edge, at least the first couple of days of the week.

PHM generated a negative reversal week, having made a new 15-month high but then closing in the red and on the lows of the week, suggesting further downside below last week's low at 21.07 will be seen this week. The red weekly close made the previous week's close at 21.85 into a successful retest of the 21.67 minor to perhaps decent weekly close resistance that has been seen twice in the past 4 years and from which drops down to 18.01 and 19.69 were seen. The stock is showing a breakaway/runaway gap formation with the runaway gap at 20.51-20.65. With no previous support (minor) built until the 20.16 level is reached, closure or non-closure of the gap will be indicative. Nonetheless, the probabilities do favor the stock getting to the gap this coming week. Intra-week resistance will now be found between 21.49 and 21.54. Probabilities favor the bears this week.
