While a few stocks have broken out and extended higher, the overwhelming majority of recent breakouts have failed to impress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last week did see some buying in metals and mining, as well as semiconductors. These areas could see new buy setups emerge after a short term pause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A few stocks we are watching are $NUE and $STLD. Both cleared resistance on heavier than average volume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.morpheustrading.com\/~rick\/\/charts\/2021\/210802NUE.png\" alt=\"$NUE daily\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.morpheustrading.com\/~rick\/\/charts\/2021\/210802STLD.png\" alt=\"$STLD  daily\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After stopping out of $CRWD last Friday, the model portfolio is down to two open positions in $NVDA and $SNAP. $SNAP could be in trouble with a break of Friday&#8217;s low. Our stop is split beneath Friday&#8217;s low and the recent swing low.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note we lowered the stop in $NVDA to allow the price a little more breathing room in case there is another shakeout below $188.00. We&#8217;d like to see the price hold the 10-week moving average on the weekly chart which is just above the 50-day MA on the daily. The new stop is beneath the 50ma and -0.5% below the entry, so a very small loss if triggered.&nbsp; The reason for entering in the first place was to catch the first pullback to the 10-week MA in a leading stock after a breakout from a long consolidation.&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.morpheustrading.com\/~rick\/\/charts\/2021\/210802NVDA.png\" alt=\"$NVDA daily\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Unofficial Setups<\/strong> &#8211; For experienced traders only, no guidance is given for these setups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Watching $NUE $STLD $TWTR $LC $MXL $SNAP $NVDA $DXCM $SMAR $SHOP $NIO $LI $XPEV $RIOT $MARA $ENPH $ZS $DOCU $FUV\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-light-green-cyan-background-color has-background\"><em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/morpheustrading.com\/services\/swing-trade-alerts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Start my Wagner Daily membership now<\/a><\/strong> to start receiving winning Morpheus stock trade signals, including a stock portfolio you can easily follow. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/morpheustrading.com\/services\/swing-trade-alerts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Wagner Daily PRO<\/a> <\/strong>includes <strong>live swing trader room<\/strong> for daily, real-time trade ideas and powerful stock trading education. <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Nasdaq Composite spent last week digesting the big reversal candle off support two weeks ago.
