Adobe Systems Incorporated (NASDAQ:ADBE)
Adobe Systems gapped higher in October and then continued to move up. It pulled back after Thanksgiving to the 50-day SMA and then rode the 50-day SMA for a month before making another move higher. A small gap up last week was sold to close the gap and then Friday it started back up again. The RSI is bullish and a bit overbought with the MACD leveling. Look for a new high to participate higher…..
Discover Financial Services (NYSE:DFS)
Discover Financial started higher in September, crossing its 200-day SMA near the end of the month. It pulled back to retest the 200-day SMA twice before riding the 50-day SMA off of it and then leaping higher in December. The run continued to a top in January and then pulled back. It was a shallow pullback and now the price is back at that top with a RSI bullish and rising and a MACD about to cross up. Look for a new high to participate to the upside…..
Walt Disney Company (NYSE:DIS)
Walt Disney ran higher in early 2017 to a top at the end of April. The pullback from there retraced nearly 78.6% of the leg higher and found support. It started back higher in November and for the last month has consolidated against resistance. Friday it made it back to that resistance from a higher low as the range tightens fast. The RSI is rising in the bullish range and the MACD is trying to turn up. Look for a push over resistance to participate higher…..
E-TRADE Financial Corporation (NASDAQ:ETFC)
E*TRADE was a big winner in the top 10 when it broke higher at the end of November. It consolidated at 50, the round number, for a month after that before another move to the upside and a top last week. It reported earnings last Thursday and took a hit to the stock price Friday. But the price action was bullish intraday, printing a hollow red candle. The RSI has reset lower out of technically overbought territory and the MACD has crossed down. Look for a follow through day to the upside Monday to participate higher…..
Great Plains Energy Inc. (NYSE:GXP)
Great Plains Energy had a solid run higher in 2017. Over 3 moves, it ran from a low of 27 to a high over 34.50. The pullback that started in December continued until it reached the 200-day SMA again and then it found support. It has held there consolidating since. It ended last week at the top of the consolidation range and over the 20-day SMA for the first time since the move down started. The RSI is now rising and the MACD has crossed up. Look for a move over resistance to participate…..
