ROST trade ideas
Ross Stores valued fair to rich$ROST shows a tremendously steady upward trend over the last 6 years.
Currently trading more to the upper end of the trend channel.
Also my dividend-radar shows that there is no "value" to be had here.
Currently for me only a hold and if it moves to the 120-126 area within the next 3 months I will shed some of my position.
In the opposite direction it will be more interesting to accumulate if the price range between $90 to $80 is hit. This would imply a drop of roughly 30%

ROST t.a. & set upROST price is showing signs of an overall uptrend pattern long term, consistently making higher highs and higher lows. Price also trades above the SMA200, indicating potential bullish movement.
Price seems to react best with EMA/SMA levels on the 4 hr chart. Price just broke above EMA10, and SMA100 today, also the last candle stick formed a Long Bullish Candle, as well as extremely oversold RSI levels @30. Strong convergence of combined signals now indicating bullish momentum likely to continue.
A good swing trade entry might be: only if price breaks above AND closes above both the EMA10 and SMA50 (4 hour chart) around or above 107.84 level by end of day close

will ROST experience another bungee jumping ?This is a risky trade as earning is around the corner. However, MACD indicates that it is about to drop. Maybe the put spread is a good choice to limit the risk, but it will also limit the potential profit if another bungee jumping is coming. stop loss is 95 and 1st target is 90.
Examine the Stock, Leave the Jewelry, ROSTLooking for short term bullish action here. The gap upward is a good sign. Just be cautious, as Ross has had a very bullish year. Also, don't buy jewelry there, as some of it was found to contain, or be entirely composed of Cadmium.

Say it with me: Princesses don't wear Cadmium.
Ross Stores (ROST) Getting Ready to BreakoutAfter running my momentum-screener I happen to come across ROST. The stores operate one of the largets off-price apparel and home fashion chains in the United States, selling name-brand and designer apparel, accessories, footwear, and home fashions to middle income consumers at prices generally 20 to 60 percent lower than regular price. It has very healthy profitability, growth, and financial health numbers; even if you end up not trading it, it's amazing stock to hold for the long haul.
Looking at the chart, my price source is (H+L+C/3) just because I'm looking at the longer series (> 1 yr). As you can tell the it recently finished a cycle (first arrow) and just started a new one (second arrow). And at the end of the week it touched the lower band of the Bollinger Band meaning a upwards reversion is in the horizon All of the momentum indicates that the stock is oversold but this is just the first correction of the new trend. Doing a bit of trend analysis on the Stochastic RSI you can tell it too is heading the "overbought" direction. This feels like the bottom of long upward trend, my recommendation would be to get in while the getting is good. BUY, BUY, BUY!!!
