Buy Not Issued. Doji in the short step low with fading below average volume as CCC just takes its time here in its test lower. Fading volume looks to take CCC out of its test soon with downside momentum fading and just need to see it bounce out of this test on strong trade for the buy.

Current. Continued a bit lower in this Asc bse move higher with CHU in a quick pullback before its next bounce higher. Held support from the 10 day EMA with a deep reach lower near 23.0. Fading, below average volume and looks ready to bounce off support here from the January highs and early February lows.

CMED 02/04 Test BO 52.25 +0.38 51.68 59.45 249K 935K 51.45

COIN 02/04 Test 18 11.63 +1.29 10.38 12.95 1.7M 978K 10.89
Current. Picked up some above average volume and surged higher out of this extended vacation from late January to finally post some upsides. Looking good this week now that its heading uphill again and with the strong volume shows no signs of slowing down yet.

Current. Bounced off the 10 day EMA and posted some modest gains but not much volume in the move. Deep reach lower near(30.91) and recovered to post a short step higher. Just needs stronger trade to really get the move going but otherwise in decent shape.

CTRP 02/16 Rev HS 52.13 +1.27 52.65 62.95 548K 1.2M 49.11
Buy Not Issued. Steadily working its way higher into the low 50s out of the Rev HS from late January but cant get the volume it needs to get a solid move higher in the base.

Current. Quiet move higher after an excellent session of gains from Tuesday. Sprinted through Tuesday and now just making a steady pace higher into the mid 30s. Nice, above average volume and DBC still in decent shape here midweek.

FLO 02/07 Cup hdl 24.09 +0.22 24.87 28.48 361K 750K 23.91
Current. Bounced off the 18 day EMA after some selling through early Wednesday until FLO bounced with the market. At the bottom of its February pullback here from the Cup hdl high and looks good to bounce off support and resume the Cup hdl move higher once trade picks up.

FLS 02/19 Rev HS 101.45 +3.44 100.55 1115.7 873K 1.2M 95.48
Buy Not Issued. Decided to wait this one out a day longer after seeing a solid move higher on just average volume. Still strong and worth some positions on a further move higher.

GIGM 02/16 DB hdl 19.75 +0.25 20.78 24.95 669K 1.6M 19.33
Buy Not Hit. Tapped the 90 day SMA near 19.0 intraday on low volume as GIGM continues to hold the 10 day EMA as support this week. Just need to see a bounce here out of this test of the DB hdl high for the buy.

HES 02/16 DB hdl 94.41 +0.32 94.35 106.45 3.7M 7M 90.91
Entered today. Jumped in on HES after a deep intraday reach lower to the 10 day EMA near 90.0 before bouncing to post a doji in the quiet step higher. Nice rising below average trade and HES in good shape to take the DB hdl higher here.

ILMN 02/16 Test BO 72.84 -0.48 72.32 82.95 1.1M 1.8M 69.11
Buy Not Hit.

ILMN 02/02 Test BO 72.84 -0.48 69.86 79.95 1.1M 1.2M 69.11
Current. Doji with a tap lower intraday at the 10 day EMA(70.60) but recovered the move there with the market to close on some light selling. Fading, below average volume and ILMN still in good shape holding support from the key 10 day EMA.

JEC 02/13 Dbl btm 77.84 +0.53 79.75 95.75 1.9M 2.5M 75.68
Buy Not Hit. Still consolidating along the upper 70s here in mid February but picked up some nice average volume that it hasn't seen since February first. Need to see it use this pickup in trade to take the Dbl btm higher and give us the buy.

KWK 02/05 Test BO 35.01 +0.92 30.78 36.45 2.4M 3.4M 32.91
Current. Need to start looking to taking some gain off the table if it puts in another good session early or starts to waffle after another strong move higher Wednesday.

MA 02/09 Rev HS 208.22 +4.02 208.22 239.00 2.4M 5M 201.11
Current. Started out selling past the 50 day SMA and straight to 200.0 but recovered with the market to post some modest gains in this Rev HS base. Rising low volume midweek for MA and in good shape after holding support from the 10 day EMA and climbing.

MM 02/07 PreAnn 57.67 +1.24 52.78 61.45 322K 450K 55.89
Current. Need to start thinking of taking some gain here with MM continuing even higher. Volume also fading and below average so watching to see if MM gets shaky at the high of its Cup breakout from late January.

NOK 02/12 Rev HS 36.71 +0.64 37.88 43.65 10M 23M 35.98
Buy Not Hit. Great move off the 50 day EMA and Tuesday low for some modest gains Wednesday. Still low volume, however, and needing to see some stronger trade from NOK in this Rev HS move higher before we can enter.

Current. Doji Wednesday on fading low volume as OTEX tapped the 18 day EMA(32.41) at the low but recovered to hold at support from the 10 day EMA. In decent shape here near key support from the 18 day EMA and late December highs.

POT 02/09 Rev HS 156.00 +3.50 143.57 162.65 6.9M 7.5M 153.55
Current. Great upside session for POT Wednesday as it surged higher in the Rev HS and still on above average volume so looks good to continue upside a bit longer.

PTNR 02/09 Asc Bse 20.85 -0.59 22.12 26.65 232K 402K 20.74
Buy Not Hit. Gapped well lower Wednesday on rising below average volume and held the 50 day EMA at the close. Has to hold the line here.

RIMM 02/09 Dbl btm 97.91 +5.02 92.30 105.95 21M 32M 94.44
Current. Great move higher on rising below average volume in a solid Dbl btm base here with RIMM in great shape midweek. Looking great to continue even higher in this solid base move higher.

RIO 02/11 Test 20 35.05 +1.55 32.32 37.77 30M 28M 30.21
Buy Not Issued. Needed to see a test after that gap from Tuesday and this surge higher from Tuesday only made it worse for RIO. Going to drop and let it test but if you are in it, ride it.

SPN 02/11 Dbl btm 43.92 +0.15 43.75 49.95 1.1M 1.2M 42.11
Current. Short step higher on rising now average volume for SPN. Good to see it continuing its Dbl btm move higher into mid February and with trade picking up SPN looks good to climb some more this week. Just watching this doji here Wednesday.

Entered today. STLD with some solid volume in the surge higher following a great session from Tuesday as well. Strong move here in the Dbl btm and STLD only looking to climb some more.

SVNT 02/06 Test 50 20.62 -0.25 21.33 25.95 686K 2M 20.22
Buy Not Issued. Doji again Wednesday with SVNT still consolidating along the low 20s from late January. No volume yet either. Just in a deep slumber here, needing stronger trade to wake it up.

TJX 01/31 DB hdl 31.18 +1.45 32.07 36.95 10M 6.5M 30.31
Current. Great bounce on some good earnings with explosive volume Wednesday as TJX surged off the 50 day EMA and gave some awesome gains. Resuming the DB hdl here and got some help with the market rebound Wednesday. Awesome.

VIP 02/12 Dbl btm 38.08 +0.16 38.36 45.65 3.3M 6M 35.77
Current. Moved laterally along the gapping high from Tuesday as VIP had below average volume Wednesday and holds the 50 day SMA as support. Nice Dbl btm base taking it higher here and looks to resume the move through the upper 30s again soon once volume returns.

VVUS 01/26 Test BO 6.00 0.00 6.37 7.98 364K 750K 6.11
Current. Resting some more along the 18 day EMA on low volume. Higher trade is all it takes here to get the Rev HS move uphill.

Current. Progressively working its way higher from the January low at the 200 day SMA as WFR bounced off the 90 day SMA Wednesday for some modest gains. Nice, rising below average volume here and hit resistance from the 50 day SMA at the close. Still in decent shape here, just watching to see how it handles this light resistance.

XTO 02/14 Test BO 58.60 +0.88 55.21 62.97 7.7M 7M 56.38
Current. XTO showing no signs of slowing down after another session of nice gains on fading above average volume. Great Dbl btm base taking it into the upper 50s and XTO in great shape this week.

Buy Not Hit. Sold initially Wednesday but rebounded with the market to post some modest gains on rising below average volume. Looks about done with the test here as the market gave it a bit of a push uphill Wednesday and if it can continue higher on this rising trade we will enter.

CNH 01/30 HdShldr 49.69 +0.44 47.65 41.54 560K 850K 4615.0
Current. Broke resistance from the 18 day EMA by a hair Wednesday on below average volume so left it alone. Need to see it faile here at the early February high.

DIA 01/30 Put 124.09 +0.41 124.12 113.55 16M 26M 123.44
Current. Mirroring the DJ30, bouncing up to the 18 day EMA on better trade. Range continues to narrow. Getting to the point now that we need to see it fail and stay down on the close if it is going to fall near term.

DIA 01/24 Put 124.09 +0.41 122.65 113.55 16M 26M 123.44
Current.

GRMN 02/09 Put 64.47 -5.03 65.58 59.54 26M 5.5M 67.82
Current. Gapped higher on its earnings then the conference call really disappointed investors and they flattened it with a 9 point intraday swing. Posted some explosive volume Wednesday in some harsh selling and looks to be heading downhill from here.

IBM 02/05 Put 107.85 +2.85 103.92 99.15 7.7M 9.5M 103.38
Current. Down one day, up the next. Back at the 90 day SMA on low volume. Needs to stall here again or it has made a lower high, a show of growing strength.

INTC 02/14 Put 20.38 +0.22 20.32 18.75 72M 85M 20.98
Buy Not Issued. Resting along the low 20s with still below average volume. Just sleeping in the low 20s into February and needs stronger trade to

IWM 02/14 Put 70.77 +0.04 69.88 67.35 71M 98M 71.11
Buy Not Issued. Up with the Russell 2000 (RUT-X) as that index continues to move laterally with the rest of the market. Still hanging around the 18 day EMA here through February and need some stronger volume for the buy.

IWM 02/09 Put 70.77 +0.04 69.09 66.04 71M 15M 70.44
Current.

LTD 02/16 Put 17.75 +0.43 17.68 16.05 3.2M 6M 18.16
Buy Not Issued. Cant seem to make up its mind here as it bounces under resistance from the 18 day EMA and 50 day EMA near 18. Well go ahead and break down already.

PCLN 02/05 Put 127.51 +4.90 95.45 86.05 2.8M 1.8M 94.11
Current. Climbed a bit higher after the uphill surge from late Friday but again left it alone given the gap killed the position. All we can look for now is a dump lower after this news wears off.

QID 01/30 Test 18 50.67 -0.81 50.96 57.32 35M 39M 51.88
Current. Started uphill initially but sold at its intraday high back to the 10 day EMA. Was starting to look good but as its inverse(QQQQ) rebounded with the market QID sold. Still, not looking to bad as it holds support some more here in mid February.

QID 01/26 Test 18 50.67 -0.81 51.57 57.32 35M 39M 51.88
Current.

SDS 01/30 Test 18 62.08 -0.70 63.28 72.45 23M 25M 63.38
Current. Ran uphill initially Wednesday with the SP500 down but the SP500 rebounded with the market intraday and SDS turned lower. Has key support at the 50 day EMA near 60 so no huge worries yet with SDS in decent shape.

SDS 01/24 Test BO 62.08 -0.70 63.18 72.45 23M 30M 63.38
Current.

SU 02/06 Dbl Top 99.24 +1.46 90.08 85.11 2.4M 2.6M 93.11
Current. Still climbing as the market bounced midday to close positive and SU suffered a bit. Has key resistance at the 50 day EMA near 100 and needs hold there.

TWM 01/24 Test 18 79.70 -1.32 85.77 97.95 9M 10M 82.05
Current. Resting some more near the 50 day EMA(78.45) and in good shape just setting up to make a strong move off support to start uphill again. Sold with the Russel bouncing higher with the market. Like the return of above average volume Wednesday for TWM and in decent shape holding support here in mid February.

VLO 02/05 Put 61.44 +0.78 56.58 51.66 7.4M 9M 57.88
Current. Continued the low volume rise to tap the 50 day SMA at 62.0 on the high and back off. Energy stocks rising on the oil rise over $100/bbl; cannot keep that up and likely to come back a bit here to test after this run in oil and energy stocks in general. We will see how far and what kind of exit we can get after those gaps higher last week.

XLF 02/05 Put 27.10 +0.31 27.19 25.05 118M 115M 27.08
Current. Closed at resistance from the 10 day EMA after a bounce from the short selling from Tuesday. XLF setting up to head downhill soon and with volume back above average volume Wednesday and rising it looks good to do so.

XOM 02/02 Put 88.10 +1.09 83.78 79.45 25M 27M 82.05
Current. One of the energy stocks taking a strong move higher Wednesday with oil rise over $100/bbl as XOM climbed through Wednesday on average volume. Has resistance at the 50 day SMA(88.49) and watching to see if it holds the line there.
