Here is your Bonus Idea with links to the full Top Ten:

Covidien, Ticker: COV
COV
Covidien (COV), is moving higher off of support at 63.50. Two strong white Marubozu candles to end the week were reinforced by a Relative Strength Index (RSI) that is rising, and making new higher highs as it verges on a move into bullish territory. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator (MACD) has crossed higher and is rising. These support more upward price action. There is resistance at 67 and 68.60, and then free air higher. Support comes lower at 63.50 and 61.70.

  • Trade Idea 1: Buy the stock now (over 65.50) with a stop a 64.90.
  • Trade Idea 2: Buy the July 65 Calls (offered at $2.15 late Friday) on the same trigger.
  • Trade Idea 3: Buy the July 65/70 Calls ($1.95) on the same trigger.
  • Trade Idea 4: Buy the July 65/70 Call Spread selling the July 62.5 Puts ($1.50) on the same trigger.
  • Trade Idea 5: Buy the July 62.5/67.5 bullish Risk Reversal (45 cents) on the same trigger.
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 Saturday. Heading into the next week, Gold continues to consolidate or move lower, while Crude Oil continued to rise. The U.S. Dollar Index and Treasuries were biased lower. The Shanghai Composite and Emerging Markets were biased to the downside as well. Volatility looked to remain subdued, but is slowly trending higher, keeping the bias higher in the short run for the equity index ETF’s SPY, IWM and QQQ.
Their charts also show signs of a pullback with the SPY and QQQ both weaker than the IWM. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.
