Getting through recession before Cameco (uranium) bounces?In prior 2008-09 recession, Cameco massively underperformed.
In a high volatility regime for stocks (VIX > 20), equities overall tend to do poorly.
The arc (a @northstar badcharts favorite) suggest another touch down before resuming its uptrend.

CCJ: Potential Gap Fill to UpsideCCJ's price action seeing responsive participants with alternative energy leading the market amidst heightened oil prices. While key levels on acute time frames are being tested by both buyers and sellers, CCJ's weekly optics present continuous range extension. While price action has begun to pierce a gap previously seen from April 2011, KL of 28.45 would be more indicative of reclaim in higher value areas (30.71) ; Continuation into mid 30's would materialize a cup and handle pattern on the Weekly// Technical analysis reflects MACD cross, price action over key moving averages, and a high correlation regression channel on the daily time frame.

Uranium is in an uptrend. Uranium miners should do very wellUranium futures are now tightening at the 21 MONTHLY moving average, above the 50 month moving average, and retesting the lows of 2014 and the highs of 2019. This is the type of signal I've been waiting for to pull the trigger.
Here's an example of a small cap uranium miner I like:
John Quakes is a great guy to follow on Twitter if you want to learn more about the industry and other mining companies.
Just be aware this is an extremely risky sector that's underperformed the broader market for a decade. We're only seeing relative strength this year. As always in markets, things change fast... but I think the tide is turning in this one.
All the best
$CCJ closed calls for small gain and went shortCCJ daily candle closed pretty bearish today, and looking at the two upper resistance lines, I'm favoring the downside trade after taking small gains on my longs.
An idea would be to go short with MARC 23 puts.
First target is the 20day MA (blue line) , a break lower there and I'd be targeting the trendline support (black line)
UUUUlooks like my Z wave is playing out for the UUUU here, to understand WXYXZ pattern is to know that a series of 3-3-3-3-3 wave patterns have evolved and they are sideways in the chart not compressed into a triangle which would rule the 3 wave pattern as an ABCDE. Now looking at the stoch RSI and also the standard RSI we can see they are both dropping from over bought with room to drop, also the daily rsi has much room. If the Z wave ends up in typical Z wave fashion it would look like the start of an impulse but is actually the end of the WXYXZ pattern and shows all bullish momo has finished . So if I'm correct we are in W2 on H4 and the daily should hit 1.618 fib lvl for a W3 around $4.70 to confirm my chart.
CCJ URA Uranium Bulls running with itI like the idea of going long CCJ April 26 calls or a 26/28 debit spread with more time.
Uranium bulls have defended the trendline support and nice volume with technical indicators and moving averages implying more upside on a strong day already today.
Stop is below 20 day moving average (black line).
