WHAT ABOUT A NICE SHORT TRADE ON CCL STOCK?Carnival corporation has been in a huge rally but lately we can see some signs of fatigue that we cannot ignore.
TECHNICALLY OBSEEVATIONS
1.CCL stock seems to respect well the 1,618 Fibonacci extension as you can see it moves at those levels after every pulback.(I didn't do it for every pull back to keep the chart clean but you can try it,it works almost for every swing)
2.We can see also bearish divergence in MACD strategy and price levels.
3.We have also RSI bearish divergence.
4.We can see also that the hidden bullish divergence we had at STOCHASTICS now is not existing as price and stochastics made both higher highs.That's a sign bulls are losing strength.
5.We can also notice that the top trend line of the ascending channel coincides with the 1,618 Fibonacci extension of the last pull back.
POSSIBLE TRADE
BUY STOP AT 67.70$
ENTRY PRICE WITH PENDING ORDER AT 66$
FIRST TARGET T1 AT 63.50$
SECOND TARGET T2 AT 60$

Big Diamond Pattern Atop Carnival Cruise CorpBig Diamond Pattern Atop Carnival Cruise Corp
When forecasting you have to take a lot of information into consideration, you have to also find the needed information to make a forecast.
What we know in the short term, Carnival Corp CCL, average analyst stock price estimates post Q2 earnings - June 28 - was $60.50 and high estimate for 2016 of $80. Brexit aftermath has slowed stock momentum and was in an industry that was hardest hit other than global banks. If Carnival does infact beat estimates, which it has solidly for nearly two years straight, we could be in a big surprise to the upside.
Long term, estimates for all corporate earnings are extremely overpriced. 2017 is expected to price nearly a 20% rise in earnings for the S&P 500. With the Federal Reserve and rating agencies ready to revise these numbers early next year, along with analyst revisions, this could be a disaster for US stocks in 2017.
Diamond Pattern
We can't always assume which direction the diamond pattern will follow, but we do know that massive volatility will shoot out of the pattern once a diamond pattern is completed. Studies have shown Diamond Patterns are the best patterns to forecast future volatility. Diamond Patterns shape have also proven to slightly improve long term forecast, but not always short term forecast. Short term direction after the patterns has completed, may not always be the ultimate direction the pattern wants to go. Often Diamonds shoot out fast head fakes in the short term, while the direction of the diamond has been pointing to a direction opposite of the head fake. So traders need to take into consideration short term vs long term, when studying the diamonds direction (red arrows on chart point to downward momentum).
Carnival Corp Weekly Long Taking this 5R long here for 3 primary reasons:
1. Net exposure is to the downside, this looks like a nice counterbalance with oil in the dumps
2. Active weekly RE Buy after a RE from the 15W mode
3. Price has pulled back to a key earnings level, with another one $1.50 below it,
which should act as a level where strong buying pressure will arrive.
GL!
