Transportation leader $NSC is making new highsNorfolk Southern Corp. operates more than 19,000 miles of rail road in the U.S. With a #2 ranking in the IBD Group Leadership and a RS line rating of 84, NSC is close of making an ATH. This is a sign of very good technicals.
On the fundamental side, it had a revenues increas of 15% to $8.29B for the nine months ended 30 September 2021. Also, for the last 3 quarters reported and increase in sales and EPS.
What may drive the price up for the upcoming weeks, are the news of NYSE:NSC is collaborating with NYSE:X and NYSE:GBX to create a new and sustainable high-strength steel railcar. Is a partnership between supplier, builder, and end-user.
The company is also launching a new web site called NSites, a GIS-based search engine to help businesses easily find rail-served industrial sites and transload facilities that meet their needs.
Remeber that round numbers like $300 holds a pretty strong psychological barrier. So I'll be waiting for the breakout.
VCP
Nucor Corp $NUE, tight action might give buy signal soonThis Steel-Producer might be the percfect example of good technicals and good fundamentals.
After a good bull run from March to August is been forming a base that has been tightening from left to right, with low volume on down days and high volume on up days. That is the kind of action I like to see before a buy signal.
According to @TradeStation, for the nine months ended 02 October 2021, NucorCorporation revenues increased 76% to $26.12B. Its quarterly results reflect a good Code 33, that's three quarters of accelerating earnings, sales and margins.
My firts buy would be just above $117.86 with 1/2 of my position sizing. If the price follows through the resistance lines I marked, I'll add up.
Its IBD RS rating is 95 and has a #1 ranking in its industry.
Buy signal - VCP with UC&RWith EVTC i see two buy signals - both based on the teachings of my masters - M. Minervini and G. Morales.
First we see a VCP over the last few days (it was also on a short list from our VCPSniper). What is interesting when you look at in details is that we see a 'shakeout' (following MM rules of VCP) that for aggresive traders can be taken as UC&R (undercut and rally) from the previous low. What is even better is that this offers a very tight stop.
Lets see how this develops!
(US) DLTR Weekly Breakout Huge BaseDLTR experience breakout it huge base (1386 days) on mid Nov with solid volume.
Price experience minor pull back for 1 month and attempt to break new high ground again.
Daily chart shown to have short base VCP setup. It also shown the resistance to drop while overall market experience major drawdown.
Let's see how it act.

In this video i also share the combination of VCP with UCR (undercut rally as per Gil Morales).
Safe trading to all!
List of US stocks setting up VCPs for possible long entriesResult of our VCPSniper analysis helping us (and you) to quickly scan through 1000s of names to create a short list of actionable stocks. We always look for price tightness and trend template criteria as defined by Mark Minervini.
We publish videos couple of times a week and also add additional analysis on stock by stock basis.
The entry should be at the break of the VCP and stop loss MUST be always in place. Your entry needs to take into account your risk appetite. Do not chase stocks that gapped up! There will be another day!.
a great example of successful exit from VCPThis stock was in my video from Sunday ... it is a great example of what we are looking for ... look at this clean break of the top of the VCP and holding nicely. However ... given the overall market situation - if you caught it ... maybe it is good to pocket the profits and move on ... it is a tricky market we are experiencing now.

DLTR - Dollar Tree, Inc.Bought position as the stock came thru the high-volume pivot from Dec 10. The stock has been one of the strongest in the market, gapping up and out of a very long-term base on an analyst upgrade in November and having a very strong day on earnings.
Since earnings, it has digested its move very orderly and with very low volatility. It looks like it may be ready to attempt another leg higher, but since this name does not have the strong earnings numbers I usually look for, I will be aggressive with profit taking.

$FLNC Strong IPOcame across $FLNC this weekend so haven't have a chance to see it trade so not sure how spready it is but a strong looking alternate energy IPO that is acting very well.
Broke its down trending line (red dotted) and putting in a sideways cheat shelf.
looking for an inside day below supply line to give us a bit lower risk entry.
Why is it better to wait for move up out of VCP!!! <= IMPORTANT!it might be tempting to buy within VCP ... but is it still so when you look at what happened to VGR?
Once you have been caught in a move like that ... you learn very fast :)
ALWAYS apply risk management where size of your position is in line with your risk apetite!
Happy trading!
VCP formingthe left hand side looks a bit choppy but you can see a nice price contraction together with volume lower than average. In good market conditions - this would be a good candidate for long entry provided it would clear the 17.40 level.
BMRI - CUP WITH HANDLEA classic Cup-with-handle with VCP characteristic on its handle, very exciting. I got my starting position today, and I am watching this stock closely now. I like to see a breakout with institutional sponsorship/huge volume soon.
The market is currently quite volatile, I'm using a mathematical stop to protect my equity. As my last couple of trades doesn't work so well, I'm trading my smallest with the lowest possible risk possible now.
