GE: An issue of Trust - is it safe yet?GE
Will 2018 be the year GE starts to get better? Who can say and
who can be believed anyway? The chart. It walks while CEO's talk.
GE has pretty much turned dead since the traumas of the Fall.
It's been moving in a very controilled trader-friendly way with
4 perfect hits on the 18.04 line and three on the 17.59 line
before it gave way, falling to new low at 17.36 but finding
buyers since and now trying to break above a fairly minor
trend line from the most recent peak at 17.52 now.
It's likely to get a few buy recommendations for potential
recovery from a few brokers in their New Year's tips sheets
but will need to find enough to push it back above 17.59 and
then hold above here on retests. That would be the first
bullish sign from GE for many a moon - and should be
encouragement enough for other buyers to join in and push
price back up to 18.04 - where it becomes ... a sell again
most likely. All this price action we see on the chart over a
two month period is the equivalent (or fractal) of two hours'
price action on Bitcoin.
AN
Auto Nation pauses here before move lowerI am long AN $38.00 puts that expire ten days after the next earnings and revenue release. I expect the numbers to be poor, and I expect that the stock will sell off even more after this release. However, I got a message asking if I thought the market will go lower from here. Likely, not until the release. But, I will take if if it does go lower.
BITCOIN BTCUSD Update: Still more to comeBITCOIN BTCUSD: Update Although it's just hit the next upside target at 1947, exceeding it with an intra-day high at 1955, there is still more to come. Price action over the last week (which we were a part of on the short side at the time, see comments) has shown that Bears don't really stand a chance here. We really had a go last week - and all we succeeded in doing was to knock it back to 1615 target...the old high! A sign of a very strong stock. Case closed. No more bear attacks until 2137-2140 upside target is met now. Bulls are pushing on an open door. There are no more bears out there...for now - they're all licking their wounds and won't be out again anytime soon. Look to pick up more longs or re-enter the market as per comment. One of two entry points: The second may not get hit though, so watch how it behaves as it hits the parallel...
Long-Term Decision PointI'm not going to make a call either way on this one but we should be able to clearly see the choice that is made within the next few days. The price has returned to that orange resistance trendline that forced it out of its purple channel late last year. On the RSI, we can see that the orange resistance trendline is potentially going to be broken. Failing that, a bearish divergence would be produced and it might be some time before the price attempts to break this trendline again. On the other hand, if the bullish scenario happens, we could see some seriously bull action in the medium to long-term.
