The S&P 500 made a new intraday lifetime high on Monday of last week, but it could not sustain the gains. Over the next two days, the index declined, however, the bulls stepped in at 2624.75 levels, as the news flow turned positive. The index gained ground in the last two days of the week and made a new lifetime high on a closing basis.
Important points
- Bulls continue to buy the dips, which suggests further upside to the US markets
- We want to ride the move higher through our trading positions
- Buy BBY, ZNH, CLX, and USCR
We believe that the bulls will want to end the year on a strong note, hence, the rally is likely to continue in the remaining few days of the year. After all, the index has closed positively in all the first eleven months of the year.
We, therefore, continue to look for trading opportunities on the long side. Notwithstanding, at the current levels, any adverse news, especially on the tax front can start a sharp fall. Therefore, please use a trailing stop loss to protect the position once it moves in our favor.
BBY – Buy 64.2, SL 60, Target 71
Weekly chart
The stock had risen to a high of $59.5 in April 2006, following which it plunged to $12 by end-2012. Since then, the stock has been on a path to recovery. In May of this year, the stock made a new lifetime high, however, it could not sustain the levels. The bears again pushed the stock lower. In the last few months, the stock made a bearish head and shoulders pattern on the weekly chart.
However, last week, the stock broke out to new highs, thereby invalidating the bearish pattern. This is a bullish development, which suggests further upside. Let’s see the critical levels on it.
Daily chart
On the daily chart, we find that the stock had been range bound since end-May of this year, between $53 on the lower end and $61.95 on the upper end. A couple of attempts to break out of the range faced stiff resistance from the bears. However, on Friday, the stock broke out to new highs with force. This is a bullish sign. We expect the stock to now move towards its pattern target of $71. Hence, we suggest buying it at $64.2, above Friday’s intraday highs with a SL of $60.
ZNH – Buy 46.5, SL 42, Target 53, 59
Weekly chart
The stock has not done much in the past decade. After rallying to dizzying heights a decade earlier, the stock plunged during the global financial crisis. Thereafter, it has been in recovery mode, but it has not been able to make new lifetime highs. Nevertheless, the pattern suggests that a retest of the highs is possible. Therefore, we want to enter this trade.
Daily chart
The stock had been range-bound between $25.6 and $42.6 for about two years. It broke out of the range on November 20. Thereafter, the bulls successfully held on to the $42.6 levels during the pullback. This shows demand for the stock at higher levels. The pattern target following the breakout of the range is $59. Therefore, we propose buying the stock at the current levels of $46.5 with a stop loss of $42.
There is a small resistance at the $53 mark, where traders can book partial profits if the stock struggles to break out of it.
CLX – Buy 146, SL 138, Target 168
Weekly chart
The stock has been in a long-term uptrend since 2009. It entered a period of consolidation/correction in July of last year. Since then, $140.5 had been acting as a stiff resistance. Three attempts to break out of the overhead resistance failed. The stock formed a bullish ascending triangle pattern and the bulls broke out above the overhead resistance last week. Hence, we want to buy the stock, as we expect it to move higher.
Daily chart
The bulls managed to breakout of the ascending triangle pattern on December 04 and have managed to sustain above $140.5 levels for a week, which is a bullish sign. The stock now has a pattern target of $168. Therefore, we want to buy 50% of the allocation at $146 and the rest on a successful retest of the $141 levels. Our stop loss for the trade can be kept at $138. We don’t want to hang on to the stock if it falls back into the triangle.
USCR – Buy 85.25, SL 80, Target 92
Weekly chart
The stock has been in an uptrend since 2012. It has been rising inside an ascending channel for more than a year. Just two weeks back, it had fallen to the trendline support of the channel, which held. We can now expect the stock to rally towards the resistance line of the channel, which is at the $92 levels.
Daily chart
On the daily chart, we find that the stock had been facing stiff resistance at the $80 mark. It broke out of the overhead resistance in end-August of this year, but could not sustain above it. Subsequently, it declined to the lower end of the range at $70. On November 30, the stock again broke out of $80 levels.
The bears again attempted to stem the rally at the $84 levels. However, the stock found support at $80 and rallied to new highs on Friday of last week. We, now, expect the uptrend to continue. Therefore, we recommend a buy at the current levels of $85.25, with a stop loss of $80 and a target objective of $92.
