JDS Uniphase (JDSU) is trading below its 200-day moving average, in a
confirmed downtrend. Simply stated, this stock has lost more over the past 200
days than it has gained. By technical definition, this is a weak, downtrending
stock. The TradingMarkets mantra is to “buy weakness, and sell strength,” and
that is what we would be looking to do here. Our database of literally millions
of trades proves that an edge to the short side exists when a weak stock pulls
back to extended, strong levels. The 2-Period RSI levels above 98 confirm this
stock’s price as overbought. As the price per share of JDSU becomes more and
more extended to the upside, the bearish edge continues to grow. Just today, on
7/10, JDSU jumped over 4% to create an even greater edge to downside.
