With the Materials sector switching to buy mode in my Sector Breadth Model I have looked inside the sector searching for industries with improving breadth over the last two weeks. Two industries – Chemicals and Steel – are showing improving internals. Looking through charts I chose Huntsman Corp. (HUN) as a candidate for a long position.
HUN
HUN is in the medium-term uptrend and challenging the 52-week high. The vertical count from July’s low gives a price target at 17.75. The November consolidation has formed a Symmetrical Triangle – a continuation pattern. The height of this triangle applied to the potential breakout point on the upside gives us 17.75 as well.

Technically, a buy signal will be issued when the price hit 16.75 (lime box). Anticipating the breakout and trying to get better risk/reward ratio I have decided not to wait for a buy signal and opened a long position today. If I am wrong, I will know soon enough. A sell signal will be issued at 15.50 (pink box).

10.06 AM Bought to open HUN January 13 15 Call 6 contracts at $1.60.
