January 26th Watch List
WLB – A super clean setup here, even though it is a bit of a chase. I still like this for a move back toward 6.70. Long entry is over 5.20, stop 5.00. Room to 5.60, 6.15, 6.55, 6.70.
BKE – On short watch for a break down and move toward 25. Looking for entry under 26.50, stop 27.25. Look at all the taps of the 20 EMA and then fails to new lows, looking for the same here.
SSTK – On short watch for a move back to IPO resistance at 25.00. Really clear long term chart here with obvious levels. Short entry will be under 27.50, stop 28.25.
KORS – On short watch as it firmly rejected the 20 EMA following a nice market bounce, a race back to the 52 week lows in a weak market will move this quickly. Short entry is under 36.50, stop 35.25. First target 34.83 and then lower.
CSRA – On short watch as this recent IPO is testing its lows in a weak market and can sell off quickly with no signs of support to slow it down. Short entry here will be under the lows 26.26, stop 27.00. Room will be at least 1.5 points from entry.
