The S&P futures have been trending south all day. Traders may want to
look for opportunities on bounces off the trendlines. Watch for a short
opportunity on a break of 1508.

gapped up on Thursday. Hmmm… where did it
go? As usual, the buyers ran it right into resistance. At this point, we will start to watch it for a potential breakout above
resistance. This may also be a pullback from lows, which will offer a short
opportunity. Just one to take a look at.

remains one of the strongest names in the
market. It’s currently trying to finish tracing out a high-level micro-cup
pattern. After it completes this pattern and closes at a new high, we’ll watch
for a volume-backed continuation move higher for a buying opportunity. Set your
alerts near Thursday’s intraday high.

broke out from a low-level
pattern on Wednesday. There is still some overhead resistance from the highs at
the beginning of the year. Use caution when considering taking a position based
on this particular breakout. If biotech remains strong, it could rally through
resistance, though.


Until later,
