Acorda Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ:ACOR)
Acorda Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ:ACOR) fell hard from a high in December to what looked like a blow off low in March. But instead of a bounce it continued to drift lower over the next 6 months, and then resumes the steep drop to a low in November. The last 3 weeks have seen a reversal bringing the stock back over 21 and consolidate. The RSI is now on the edge of a move into the bullish zone and the MACD rising and positive. It has been here before, but look for a break through resistance to participate to the upside…..

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 Friday which with November Options Expiration behind and heading into the shortened Thanksgiving holiday week, sees equity markets looking strong.
Elsewhere look for Gold to continue lower while Crude Oil moves to the upside in the short run. The US Dollar Index remains strong as it moves higher while US Treasuries continue to be biased lower. The Shanghai Composite looks to continue to drift higher and Emerging Markets may have found support in their move lower.
Volatility looks to remain at unusually low levels keeping the bias higher for the equity index ETF’s SPY (NYSE:SPY), iShares Russell 2000 (NYSE:IWM) and PowerShares QQQ Trust Series 1 (NASDAQ:QQQ). Their charts show strength in the IWM and SPY both short term and in the intermediate time frame. The QQQ however remains stuck in consolidation in the longer timeframe. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.
