ETF, stock, and broad market commentary:

Stocks fought off some early morning weakness and pushed higher most of the day. Surprisingly, the Dow Jones was strong out of the gate, and led the market higher all day. Yesterday’s 0.9% advance in the Dow put the index over the 50-day MA, joining all the other major averages, which is a bullish sign. Turnover eased on both exchanges, preventing the S&P 500 and Dow from registering a bullish accumulation day. However, with the market timing model in buy mode, our concern now shifts to the market avoiding distribution days.

After an ugly selloff from last December to late June, Market Vectors Egypt ETF ($EGPT) reversed off the lows on big volume and rallied 20% higher before stalling out around $47. After a near two month consolidation that held above the rising 10-week MA, $EGPT broke above the highs of the range this week on a pick up in volume. The price action also cleared the 40-week MA (in orange) on the weekly chart below.

$EGPT BULLISH REVERSAL PATTERN

If the current breakout holds, the next levels of resistance are at $50 and $52 – $53, which is where we will look to exit the position if our buy entry triggers (see watchlist above for trade details).

On the daily chart, notice how the price action tightened up nicely during the past two weeks just above the rising 50-day MA. Yes, the 50-day MA is still below the 200-day MA, but the 50ma is in a clear uptrend with the price action now above the 200ma.

$EGPT breakout

On the stock side, $VNDA triggered a buy entry and we are now long. The price action failed to follow through, but did did hold above the prior day’s low. A move above $12.02 is a potential entry point for those who missed yesterday’s entry. $ONVO stopped us out yesterday, as it failed to do much of anything after triggering.

We have one new setup in today’s watchlist in $SCTY.

$SCTY put in monster reversal candle on Tuesday, up 20% or so on big volume. This action puts the stock back on our radar, and we are looking for a slight pullback entry to yesterday’s low (around 20 ema) using a buy limit order. $SCTY can only trigger a long entry if it trades at or below our buy limit order. The stop is placed beneath the low of the big reversal candle. Our thinking is that this candle should hold up due to the big volume. We will look to add to the position if it forms a tight range above the 50-day MA down the road.
