BlackRock, Ticker: BLK
BlackRock, BLK, had a long run higher from the May 2012 low to the recent consolidation between March and today. After two touches at the 50 day Simple Moving Average (SMA), there are signs that this leg higher could create another break up. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is bullish and rising. In fact, the price is near completion of a Positive RSI Reversal target of 268.11. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator (MACD) is also turned up and crossed to positive, supporting more upside. The Bollinger Bands ® are also opening for a ride higher. There is no resistance above 266, and support below is found at 260 and 252 followed by 245 and 235.

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. As we head into May and everyone tells you to sell and go away, looks for Gold to stall in the bounce while Crude Oil continues higher. The U.S. Dollar Index seems content to move sideways again, while U.S. Treasuries are biased high, but may also continue to consolidate. The Shanghai Composite is looking better to the downside, with Emerging Markets looking to consolidate. Volatility looks to remain a no issue, keeping the bias higher for the equity index ETF’s SPY, IWM and QQQ. The reversal candlestick patterns to end the week, suggesting a pullback for the coming week. Longer term, the uptrends remain with the QQQ looking the strongest. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.
