Lennar Corp Breaking out.Highly dependent on consumer sentiment and interest rates, LEN has benefited recently from the interest rate culling which looks set to continue, adding to the stimulus is the extremely low unemployment rate in the USA which in turn adds to demand on new housing. We see $62 as a possible upside target.

LEN LENNAR: We Nailed This One: Looking to Stick to the PlanSee previous earnings with Reverse H&S similar to today's.
Both going into Monthly H&S, so we think after a nice pump from Reverse H&S B/O this am and a big profit we will be able to move to the short side with some very cheap puts. The green line (lower priced green line) is the measured move, but we will prob fall a bit short and then start reversing.
JUST TRADE THE RANGE, AND IT'S NOW AT THE TOP.From a technical perspective they indicators are all bearish and as earnings approach next week commentary is also very bearish which is never a good sign pre earnings, analysts never usually risk looking like fools.
Last week, analysts at Wedbush upgraded their home builder view, noting that with hearty consumer demand for housing, a supportive economy, low rates, and “reasonable” valuations, “investors should be willing to pay a higher multiple” for homebuilder stocks.
Not so fast, said a Raymond James analyst on Tuesday.
“Ahead of next week’s earnings reports from Lennar LEN, -2.62% and KB Home KBH, -3.49% , we are highlighting our increased near-term caution with the homebuilding sector by preemptively lowering ratings on the aforementioned names,” “Valuations are now trading above cyclical median multiples,” Buck Horne wrote.

short biggest home builder in late stage economic cycle.Lennar corp is becoming a short candidate since it seems like the FED will continue raising rates in 2019 and home building stats are proving to be sluggish as well. Home prices have peaked and consumers will need to tighten their belts in USA in the months to come,(1st quarter)after holiday season.
Technically, the price has been showing a consensus of uncentainty with most recently a major upside of selling volume.
I will be looking for a price entry when the baseline support gets penetrated on a 2nd,3rd or 4th attempt to the down side.
Be aware that if FED Powell decides to opt for a dovish tone on December 19th and keep the interest rate at 2.25%, the stock might get a little momentum on the long side for a short period of time.
Overall, I do believe that the economic fundamentals will weight significantly on that homebuilding sector due the fact that credit will be contracting more in the months to come.
