Chart on NFLX (by TraderHR)

By -

Netflix, Inc. (NFLX), despite the overall market sell-off on Monday, was one of the few stocks that finished the trading session with a gain. It closed just slightly below a key resistance area at 250, which is also the top line of an ascending triangle pattern in which the stock has consolidated during the last three months. If a breakout above that level occurs, we could see the 260 area reached next. Preferred entry (buy stop) price is at 251.05, with a stop at 241.00.

Pattern in Oil (Mike Paulenoff)

By -

Last Wednesday we told subscribers that the day's upmove in WTI crude oil futures from $95 to $101 was not the start of a new upleg. We noted that the pattern exhibited on the daily chart since the May 7 at $94.63 to Wednesday's high at $100.99 resembled a bear flag formation much more than a significant bottom. It had the look of a digestion-consolidation pattern in the lower quadrant of the larger downleg from May 2's $113.97. The analysis remains unchanged, and still argues for another downleg into the $90-$88 area next, which should negatively impact the oil & gas names as well.

Chart Analysis on AAPL (by Mike Paulenoff)

By -

For you Apple (AAPL) devotees, and I consider myself among the faithful, my near-term work argues that the correction of the late-April upleg from 320.16 to 360.90 ended (finally) on Tuesday at 330.75.

Since that low, a new upleg has started that likely completed its initial upmove this morning at 342.40. If my work is accurate, then AAPL has entered a correction of the upmove from 330.75 to 342.40, and could press next into the 335-332.50 area in the hours ahead.

Only a decline that breaks 330.75 will invalidate my current outlook, and will point AAPL towards a full-fledged revisit of the April 18 low at 320.16.
