BTU - Extremely Oversold, Rally in StoreBTU is down 10% today, following a ~5% slide in WTI, pushing the U.S. crude benchmark to $50, and a 6% decline in Brent, which is down to $53. With today's drop, BTU has fallen 65% since the beginning of 2014.
I like the odds of a rally here, with BTU's extremely oversold levels, nearby TL support, bullish RSI divergence since October and the psychological support level of $50 Brent. Took this trade by picking up some Mar '15 $7 calls trading for $0.85 per contract and Jun '15 $7 calls trading for $1.24 per contract. Given today's drop from $7.74 to $6.97, these contracts look very cheap.

BTU trade ideas
BTU - Possibilites to go long for mid termLooking at 1h chart we can see the trend going above the cloud. We have a bottom on the red dotted line (around 15,70) that could be a strong support for middle term. The previous moves can be seen into a channel pattern, so we can assume that next move follows the same kind of pattern. That sort of triangle pattern could contain the trend between 18,40 and 16. This is only an idea so manage your money, put stop loss and look for big moves, not at single waves. Good luck for your trading.
BTUWhat do we have here? In the first, four months of failed attempts to break through the EMA 200 line. I think now there are few who will buy in the hope that chart rise above. Also, we have a confirmed pattern of "head and shoulders". But most importantly, confirmed break MA 200 line, which will now serve as the closest stop.
I think all is over a certain similarity of a double bottom.Then it will be possible to open a long position.
BTU Picking Up Some EnergyIt's hard not to notice the large golden cross that has just occurred in peabody's chart which represents a reversal of a huge downtrend from before, the stock is now retesting the earnings gap with the 100 dma as support, the MACD looks to be curling up with the RSI rising, this is a strongly bullish chart and should have a chance to test the 20.5 level in the first quarter of next year
BTU - Inverted Head and ShouldersBuy Area - $20.50 - $24.90 or feel free to have a buy stop order at $26 to catch the breakout above the neckline
Target Area - $30
Stop Loss - $20
Sloppy joe kind of inverted head and shoulders but regardless still looks like a good reversal pattern.
Increased volume during this pattern and there is a higher trough than previous which hasn't happened in a long while.
