ETF, stock, and broad market commentary:

The Dow Jones and S&P 500 pushed higher while the Russell 2000 and S&P 400 stalled out at prior highs. The Nasdaq showed a bit of stalling action on higher volume, but the higher turnover can be attributed to a gap down in MSFT that produced a huge spike in volume.

The AAII Investor Sentiment reading as of April 10 reported a 16% drop in bulls vs. a 26% jump in bears. The heavy increase in the bear camp probably added more fuel to the fire on Wednesday, as most short sellers were wiped out of their positions.

The rally continues to impress with its ability to fight off 5 distribution days and rotate leadership. Until leading stocks break down en masse we have to believe that there is more upside.

Earlier in the week we posted a chart of Market Vectors Vietnam ETF ($VNM), looking for a breakout above a tight-ranged consolidation after forming a higher low on the daily chart. $VNM broke support at 20.13 a few days ago, so we removed the setup from our watchlist. $VNM returns to the watchlist today as a buy setup if the price action can return back above the 20-day EMA and our original entry point.

$VNM WEEKLY REVERSAL

Even if our buy entry does not trigger, we’d like to see $VNM close in the top 30% of the week’s range to produce a valid reversal candle on the weekly chart. If so, then we will keep the setup on our watchlist for a potential entry next week.

Our $SMH buy order remains live, as the price action may chop around for another day or two before heading higher. $EWS is also still in play.

We cancelled the $TSLA buy setup yesterday, as the 5-minute high was more than 1.3% above our buy entry. However, if you currenlty own $TSLA, great! Stick with the position using our stop and we will continue to update the setup to let you know when it is time to sell.

We have two new stock setups for today. $ATHN is a potential downtrend line breakout entry. The only problem with $ATHN is that it is scheduled to report earnings on April 25. Because of this, we are reducing our share size (1/4 of full) and going with a tight stop. If ATHN can breakout and give us a 5% profit buffer, then we may look to hold through earnings. ATHN’s relative strength ranking is a bit weak at 76, but its earnings per share ranking is 93 out of 99, with respectable earnings and revenue growth the past few quarters.

$ATHN FLAT BASE BREAKOUT

The second buy setup is in $ZQK, which has formed a bullish 9-week base above the 50-day MA. A break of the downtrend line and the two-day high should attract some buying interest. $ZQK has a great strength ranking ranking of 98.

$ZQK BASE AT THE 50MA
