Lumber Futures Price Targets & Breakout Level

rsotc — Thu, 01 Jul 2021 20:44:49 +0000

/LB (lumber futures contract) appears poised for a breakout above this 30-minute downtrend line & will trigger a buy signal on a solid break above. Note: The price targets on this 30m chart have been slightly revised from the 60m chart covered in recent videos.

LB 30m July 1st

Also worth noting is the fact that lumber futures made a backfill of the Jan 20/21 gap (i.e.- kissed the 700 gap support level) that was highlighted on the daily chart in recent videos. To the best of my knowledge, there is not an ETN that directly tracks lumber futures. As such, WOOD & CUT (timber & forestry companies) is the closest proxy for trading lumber futures, although they don’t move in perfect lock-step with lumber prices.

PLUG & ETCG Trade Ideas

rsotc — Fri, 16 Apr 2021 19:16:11 +0000

PLUG (Plug Power Inc.) offers an objective, yet aggressive long entry here at support while oversold on the daily RSI with another objective entry or or add-on to come on a breakout above the downtrend line & 30.10ish resistance level on this daily chart. My sole & preferred swing target on the daily time frame at this time is just shy of the 48.60ish resistance level with stops using a 3:1 or better R/R based on one’s preferred price target(s).

PLUG daily April 16th

Zooming down to the 60-minute time frame below, PLUG also offers an objective, yet aggressive long entry here at support and/or down to the 21.90ish support with stops somewhat below with alternative targets shown at the arrow breaks. I refer to this as an aggressive trade idea due to the fact this stock is in a clear & powerful near-term to intermediate-term downtrend (but long-term uptrend) without any solid buy signals or evidence of a trend reversal at this time. As always, pass on trade ideas that do not mesh with your trading style or risk tolerance.

PLUG 60m April 16th

ETCG (Ethereum Trust), which was highlighted in Wednesday’s Long Trade Ideas video, has broken out above the 22.44 resistance level, triggering the next objective long entry or add-on with a stop below although the potential (unconfirmed) negative divergences are worth monitoring. Previous daily charts of ETCG below, starting with the downtrend line breakout/buy signal back on Jan 15th, followed by the chart posted on Feb 22nd (the day after suggesting to book profits/sell ETCG right at the highs/22.44 resistance in a video which was followed by a 60% correction), and today’s updated chart.

ETCG daily Jan 15th

ETCG daily Feb 22nd

ETCG daily April 16th

That’s about all I see that stands out today as most of the recently highlighted trade ideas, as well as the broad market, are consolidating/trading mostly flat today. As such, to be continued next week.

The following video begins with analysis of the major stock indices & various volatility indicators followed by long-side swing trade ideas on various individual stocks.

/SB Sugar Futures Hit 2nd Price Target

rsotc — Wed, 14 Apr 2021 13:09:20 +0000

/SB (sugar futures contract) has hit the 2nd price target for a relatively quick ~8% gain with potential negative divergences increasing the odds of a pullback. Consider booking profits and/or raising stops if holding out for additional gains on either /SB, SGG, or CANE. Previous & updated 60-minute charts below.

SB 60m April 5th

SB 60m April 9th

SB 60m April 14th

Regardless of whether or not /SB has a reaction off this initial tag of the 2nd target (0.1590), the next objective long entries will come on a solid break and/or 60-minute close above 0.1590 or a pullback to the first target & intersecting uptrend line around 0.1558 (with stops somewhat below).

/NG & UNG Natural Gas Swing Trade Idea

rsotc — Mon, 22 Mar 2021 19:05:07 +0000

/NG (natural gas futures) has just broken out above the downtrend line + 2.566 resistance level on this 60-minute chart, providing an objective long entry here. /QG is the Miny natural gas futures contract that trades at the same price level as /NG but employs a smaller leverage factor (appx. $6,500 exposure to NG per contract). Keep in mind the chart below is the April contract which stops trading in a few days. As such, best to use the May contract which trades thru April 27th.

NG 60m March 22nd

For those that prefer ETFs, this UNG breakout above the 60-minute downtrend line & the 9.58 resistance level also provides an objective long entry with stops commensurate with one’s preferred price target. Potential unadjusted swing targets/actual resistance levels are marked on both charts.

UNG 60m March 22nd

Next Buy Signal In Gold Pending

rsotc — Tue, 09 Mar 2021 13:58:28 +0000

Since yesterday's video, /GC (gold futures) reversed right on support (on the GLD daily chart) & has rallied nearly 2% so far to break out above the 60-minute bullish falling wedge pattern & appears poised to break above the 1707ish resistance which will help firm up the buy signal from the breakout & provide the [...]

Gold At Key Support Offering Objective Long Entry

rsotc — Mon, 08 Mar 2021 20:55:39 +0000

GLD (gold ETF) has hit the bottom of my buy zone which was first laid out in the first chart below posted back on Nov 30, 2020, the day GLD kissed the top of the buy zone which was immediately followed by an 11% rally over the next 6-weeks or so. Therefore, gold currently offers [...]

Large-Cap Stocks At Support

rsotc — Fri, 05 Mar 2021 14:30:36 +0000

Here are some of the top components of the S&P 500 that were highlighted as objective long entries on pullbacks to key support levels in yesterday’s video. As per the comments in that video, solid breaks & especially a solid daily close below these support levels would be bearish & quite likely open the door to another wave of selling. As such, my preference would be to keep tight stops below yesterday’s lows on any of these taking as either pure-play long-side swing trades or hedges against index shorts as discussed in the video.

HD tagged the 247.12 support at yesterday’s lows during the video, offering an objective long entry with a stop somewhat below.

HD daily March 5th

WMT closed a hair below the 128 support yesterday & still offers an objective long entry with a stop below yesterday’s low.

WMT daily March 5th

JNJ closed a hair below the 154ish support yesterday, offering an objective short entry with a stop below yesterday’s low.

JNJ daily March 5th

TSLA hit my blue uptrend line price target for a gain of about 28% since the backtest of the yellow uptrend line & 22% since the follow-up sell signal on the break below 802. This provides an objective time to cover the short & reverse to long for a bounce with a stop below yesterday’s low. Next buy signal to come on a break above the downtrend line with the next sell signal to come on a solid break and/or daily close below the uptrend line.

TSLA daily March 5th

As highlighted in yesterday’s video, MSFT offers an objective long entry on the backtest of the multi-month trading range with a stop on a solid break and/or daily close below the uptrend line.

MSFT daily March 5th

AMZN kissed the 2943.50ish support yesterday, offering an objective long entry with stop not too far below.

AMZN daily March 5th

Updates on the major stock indices as well as these potential trade ideas to follow after the regular-session has been underway for a while. Once again, these stock offer objective long entries at support but they also offer objective short entries if these support levels are solidly taken out, ideally on impulsive breaks below yesterday’s lows.

rsotc — Mon, 25 Jan 2021 14:36:24 +0000

The HSTO (Histogen Inc) swing trade setup highlighted on Thursday broke out & closed above the downtrend line on Friday, triggering a buy signal. I’ve added an additional (new T1) price target at 1.67 (suggested sell limit at 1.63). Daily chart below.

HSTO daily Jan 22nd close

The SPHS (Sophiris Bio Inc) aggressive trade idea which was highlighted on Thursday as well also triggered a buy signal on Friday with the breakout above 0.0201 & hit the first target later in the day for a quick 100%+ gain. Next buy signal to come on a solid break above the 0.0393 (T1) level. Daily chart below.

Gold, Silver, & EUR/USD Analysis 12-8-20

rsotc — Tue, 08 Dec 2020 14:36:14 +0000

After reversing off the top of the buy zone Monday before last, GLD (gold ETF) has now rallied into downtrend line resistance where the odds for a reaction are elevated. If/when the downtrend is clearly taken out, next resistance/target zone runs from roughly 179.34-181.19 while any pullbacks towards the buy zone will still offer objective scale-in entries for long-term positions. Daily chart below.

GLD daily Dec 8th

After reversing off the bottom of the Sept – current trading range, SLV (silver ETF) is currently trading in no-man’s land; about 3/4th of the way towards the top of the range with the next buy signal to come on a solid break above. Daily chart below.

SLV daily Dec 8th

EUR/USD has potential (unconfirmed) negative divergences following the recent breakout above the long-term downtrend line as it tests the 1.22ish minor resistance. Should these divergences play out for a correction, a backtest of the trendline would be a likely target (red scenario). Should the divergences get taken out, a continued rally up to the next target around 1.2672 should help bring gold near or above new all-time highs (green scenario, less the minor zigs & zags along the way). The former (red) scenario would be near-term bearish for gold while the latter (green) would be bullish. Weekly & daily charts of $EUR/USD below.

Stock Market & Gold Analysis 12-4-20

rsotc — Fri, 04 Dec 2020 17:27:14 +0000

Technical analysis on the US stock market via SPY, QQQ, /ES, & /NQ followed by updates on gold, the Euro, & US Dollar. Silver & Gold level access initially required.

Key points:

Both the near-term as well as the intermediate-term trend in the stock market remains bullish for now without any sell signals. However, the major stock indexes have negative divergences building on the 60-minute, daily, & weekly time frames which indicate the odds for a correction are starting to build at this time.
Some nearby support levels in which a sell signal could trigger as well as some potential near-term pullback targets are highlighted in the video.
The $EUR/USD appears poised to print a solid weekly close above both the long-term downtrend line as well as the previous reaction high, helping to confirm the recent breakout.
While the US Dollar has fallen to multi-year lows with the Euro breaking out, gold remains well below the previous bull market high from early August. As such, we still don’t have an ‘all-in’ buy signal on gold at this time, rather an objective time to be scaling back into long-term positions in the precious metals & miners.

Gold Reverses Off Support, Looking Good So Far

rsotc — Thu, 03 Dec 2020 14:29:25 +0000

So far, so good with GLD (gold ETF) reversing immediately after Monday’s Time To Start Scaling Back Into Gold post & rallying impulsively since. GLD has closed posted solid gains every day since then, rallying about 4½% so far, with SLV (silver ETF) gaining about 9½% since then (silver will typically rise & fall more than gold during rallies & corrections). Previous & updated daily charts below.

Click on the first chart to expand. Once expanded, charts can be panned & zoomed for additional detail.

GLD is coming up on the 174.78ish former support, now resistance level; Bullish if/when that is clearly taken out along with the downtrend line just above it. As such, active traders that took a position on Monday could opt to book quick profits on either metal if/when GLD gets a little closer to the 173.78ish resistance although my preference remains to continue scaling into the metals & miners, on either strength or weakness (down to but not below the bottom of the 166-158 scale-in zone) strategically as long-term positions.

The term “strategically” scaling in means adding to positions on pullbacks to support and/or breakouts above resistance although those without the time to closely follow the charts throughout the day might opt to use a basic scale-in strategy in which you add predetermined amounts into the metals and/or miners over a pre-determined time intervals (e.g.- $5k every week for the next 8 weeks if your intention was to gradually take a $40k position over 2 months). Should gold manage to take out & close the week above both the 173.78 resistance as well as the downtrend line above, it has the potential to put in a bullish engulfing candlestick on the weekly time frame. Previous & updated weekly charts below.

Trade Updates, Including INTC

rsotc — Mon, 16 Nov 2020 15:31:07 +0000

Here’s a quick update on some of the recently highlighted swing trade ideas, including a new trade idea on INTC (Intel Inc.).

/KC (coffee futures) has rallied about 7% since the breaking out of the bullish falling wedge on Thursday while now approaching the 1st target around 1.1585. While the odds for a reaction are elevated on the initial tag of this level, the next buy signal to come on a solid break above that level with or without a pullback or consolidation before then. 60-minute chart below.

KC 60m Nov 16th

Likewise, JO (coffee ETN) has hit the 33.92 price target/resistance after rallying about 6% since the minor downtrend line breakout last Thursday. 60-minute chart below.

JO 60m Nov 16th

/NG (natural gas) gapped down below both the uptrend line (support) & the 2.898 price support, thereby triggering any objective stop-loss orders placed below either of those support levels. 60-minute chart below.

NG 60m Nov 16th

/GC gold continues to climb toward the downtrend line (min. target) and the potential 2nd target of 1914. 120-minute chart below.

GC 120m Nov 16th

INTC (Intel Inc.) has been lagging behind the rest of the semis but with one of the more constructive (bullish) charts at this time. Recently reversing off a major support zone with positive divergences, any or all of the marked levels are potential price targets. Daily chart below.
