Centene Corp | CNC | Long at $65As a managed health care company, Centene Corp NYSE:CNC doesn't get much attention. However, it is an undervalued growth stock. It's been a workhorse historically for slow and steady financial returns with a 3%+ dividend. The biggest dips along my selected moving average have been into the blue lines - which it recently tested. While the stock may close the gap near $62 is the near future, it's a personal buy at $65.
Target 1 = $78.00
Target 2 = $95.00
Moving Averages
Citigroup Could Be Inching HigherCitigroup has recently inched higher as the broader market pulled back. Now some investors may think the banking giant will continue upward.
The first pattern on today’s chart is $63.46, the close on June 28 and the last price of the first half. C tested and held it in two separate weeks. It’s also near the peaks of May. Has new support been established at higher levels?
Second, the 50-day simple moving average is rising from below. That may suggest the intermediate-term trend is bullish.
Third, the 8-day exponential moving average (EMA) has remained above the 21-day EMA. That may suggest the short-term is bullish.
Next is the series of higher weekly lows. That may suggest the long-term trend is bullish.
Finally, the dip in Bollinger Bandwidth indicates that movement has narrowed. That could make traders look for price movement to expand if C manages to make a new high and surpass levels from early 2022.

15 Minutes.
547 was resisted.
For the day consider the fall and rise from
547.34 to 538.51
and 538.51 to 543.66
For the fall AMEX:SPY retraced nearly 61.8%.
So, for the rise must hold 541 today to target 200 averages around 546-547 again.
Downtrend in 15 minutes intact as long as AMEX:SPY below 15 minutes.
Traeger | COOK | Long at $2.50Traeger NYSE:COOK is in an accumulation zone and approaching a change in the downward trend based on my selected simple moving average. Insiders have shown confidence in future price improvement by buying shares and being awarded options in the low $2s. With a 58M float and anticipated earnings improvement through 2027, this ticker may be poised for a run soon. There is a tiny gap in the daily chart between $2.19 and $2.20 that may get filled before then, but Traeger has a strong brand name and can be found in multiple big box stores. A slowing economy may dampen this move in the near-term, but NYSE:COOK is in a personal buy zone at $2.50.
Target #1 - $4.15
Target #2 - $5.00
Target #3 - $8.50
Target #4 - $19.00 (very long-term...)
NVIDIA - Levels to Watch NVIDIA - NASDAQ:NVDA
The chart demonstrates a pattern of rising parallel channels for durations of approx. 142 - 152 weeks followed by 36 - 46 week corrections.
We are currently in a defined rising parallel channel and we are at week 92 of that bull trend, with a further 50 weeks probable based on the historic repeating timeframes. This does not guarantee a repeat timeframe of 142 - 152 weeks, but it does make it more probable.
⚠️What to watch out for?
▫️ Price breaching down and out of the short term parallel channel. This would be an initial warning.
▫️ Price falling below the 50 SMA would be a confirmation of a trend shift to bearish (blue line).
▫️ Otherwise, a roughly 142-152 month bull trend out to mid 2025 looks probable for now.
Another option to consider is that we trend sideways for 36 - 44 weeks like we did from Jan - Oct 2018. This type of sideways movement could travel along the top of the long term parallel channel (in blue).
Lets keep an eye on the short term parallel channel for that initial warning, otherwise happy trading the trend.
You can come back here at anytime and press play and you will get the price updated in terms of the levels marked.

Neutral - watching gradual downtrend/50-week EMANot buying today despite the discount because a gradual downtrend has formed. As long as that pattern holds, it will continue to make lower highs and lower lows over time (doesn't sound fun). That said, if it can eventually break out of the downtrend (which is currently running next to the 50-week EMA), I would consider starting a position (even though it would be at a higher entry). Anyway, I'll keep an eye on for a weekly and/or monthly close decisively (with volume) above that level.
Beware bear trapOnce bitten twice shy. As much as the weekly and daily charts look depressing, it doesn't change the fact that the weekly PPMs are all still strongly in uptrend.
Starting at the daily, PPMs 1 and 3 are under their derivatives and not in any trend. Algo also says more of the same.
However PPM2 is still in between the 2 derivatives (though not for long it seems) so we may see some action around the 21SMA for a bit.
Looking over to the weekly chart, we may test the 10SMA by the looks of the PPM1. However it is still likely to hold for now. The angle of attack of all 3 SMAs are too positive for a sudden drop anytime soon.
No fib targets in play for now so my guess is to test the 10SMA on the weekly before we see where things go.
Long Kiwi setup looking for a revival in risk appetiteThe New Zealand dollar is a binary bet on how investor risk appetite evolves this week. Having plunged over the past fortnight before bouncing off horizontal support, a setup is in place to look for a reversal. We just need risk assets to oblige.
To reinforce how influential risk assets have been on the Kiwi, its rolling daily correlation with Nasdaq futures sits at 0.92 over the past month. With copper futures it’s an even stronger 0.95 and 0.89 with USD/JPY. It’s deeply negative with the VIX at -0.88, indicating that when volatility spikes, Kiwi usually tumbles.
That suggests Microsoft’s earnings report and speculation before the Fed are likely to heavily influence NZD/USD over the next 24 hours.
NZD/USD screens as decent long setup from a risk-reward perspective, oversold yet still able to bounce off .59593 at the first time of testing, an important level that has provided support in the past. While no guarantee this time will be the same, when RSI has sat at these kinds of levels over reccent years, it has often occurred around a market bottom.
Those taking on the long trade could buy above .58593 with a stop below for protection. Some selling may be encountered at .5900 but there isn’t any real visible resistance levels evident until we get back towards .5985 of .60491.

Oil prices losing strength due to China's economic slowdown
Oil prices continue to trend downward, as are expectations for increased U.S. oil production and pessimism about the Chinese economy. Expectations are growing that oil prices will gradually fall following reports that new wells will be drilled in US shale fields, and the costs for them will drop significantly by about 10% this year alone. Meanwhile, the economic slowdown in China, the world's largest crude oil importer, is also putting downward pressure on oil prices. China's oil imports in June fell 10.7% amid disappointment that the PBoC's rate cuts were not large enough to boost the Chinese economy.
USOIL (WTI) has been trending downward over the past week, falling to the 75.10 level. After death-crossed, both EMAs rapidly widen the gap and send out a typical bearish signal. If USOIL fails to hold the 75.00 support, where the trend line intersects, the price could fall further to 72.50. Conversely, if USOIL advances toward the 76.80 resistance after recovering EMA21, the price may gain upward momentum toward the 78.20 level.

$SPY July 30, 2024AMEX:SPY July 30, 2024
15 Minutes.
AMEX:SPY was in the range 524 to 547 as expected.
The steep fall from 565 to 537 resulted in moving averages being far away.
That is getting sorted out and now downtrend until 200 averages is crossed on upside in 15 minutes.
I expect a resistance around 547 to 548 levels being previous few bars' highs and 200 average levels. And if it gives above 548.5 549 to 549.3 will give resistance being 61.8% retracement for the big fall from 566 levels.
Tomorrow, Wednesday could be a day to find a trade.
Occidental Staggers Before Big EventsOccidental Petroleum has been rangebound for more than two years, and some traders may worry about potential downside with some big events looming.
The first pattern on today’s chart is the price action after the April 12-June 4 slide. OXY retraced half the decline before rolling over, which may suggest its trend is now lower. The recent drop below $61 could also be interpreted as a bear-flag breakdown.
Next, the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) is in the process of forming a potential “death cross” below the 200-day SMA.
Third, the oil stock tried to clear last year’s high above $69 in April but couldn’t hold. That kind of false breakout is a potentially bearish reversal pattern.
Finally, at least two big events could impact trading. On Thursday, OPEC+ is expected to let production increase as previously announced. Quarterly results follow on August 7.
