Slightly Positive day

Today was a pretty tame day compared to the recent price action, but I would say slightly tilted in the bulls favor. The Nasdaq held the 20 day sma as support and the large caps ended in hammer type candles. I am leaning to the bullish side as long as the Nasdaq continues to lead.

Here is an hourly chart of the Nasdaq showing some stiff resistance around 44.10. A move above this level on volume may force some early shorts to cover.


Harman International Industries Inc./DE/ (Public, NYSE:HAR)
HAR continues to hold over gap support and may find support here. There is still a chance of a partial gap fill, or an outright failure, but the risk / reward in this area may make it a compelling trade.


ACE Limited (Public, NYSE:ACE)
ACE has pulled back to the lower trendline in a rising channel and the previous breakout area. This is also a pretty decent risk / reward setup.



Southern Copper Corporation (USA) (Public, NYSE:PCU)
I am keeping an eye on PCU to see if it can break out of this consolidation channel, or if an outright failure is developing. I highlighted a major support area that if broken could lead to a large move lower.

Good Luck,


DT
