- Friday, Nov. 29 – Market closes early at 1 pm est.

Leadership from the small cap index returned on Tuesday, with the Russell 2000 posting a 0.9% gain while the S&P 500 and Dow Jones were basically flat. The S&P 500 and Dow Jones have stalled out the past two sessions and may need a few days of rest before pushing higher.
With Tuesday’s advance, the Russell has now clearly broken out to new highs. Drawing a trendline connecting the weekly highs on a chart of the Russell 2000 ETF ($IWM), the next stop could be around $160.
After breaking out from 16-week base during the summer, iShares Core MSCI EAFE ETF ($IEFA) has been in trend mode, holding above the rising 10-week moving average. The current consolidation is a flat base type pattern, where the chart corrects more by time (sideways) than by price. We look for the action to hold above the 10-week MA and eventually break out to new highs.
We like the action in $IEFA because it is in a clear uptrend with all the major averages pointing in the right direction.
$IEFA held above the 50-day MA and prior swing high during the last pullback. A break above the downtrend line could spark a move to new highs, but if the price fails to push higher, then we could potentially see another slight pullback to $59. If there is a pullback, then we will closely monitor the action for an entry off a bullish reversal candle.
We have one new buy setup on today’s watchlist in $AWAY.
$AWAY exploded higher from an earnings gap up earlier this month (note the monster volume on the gap up). After stalling at $39, the action has pulled back in to the 20-day EMA the past two weeks.
The volume pattern has been quite bullish, with volume climbing during the rally and falling off during the pullback.
Our buy entry is over yesterday’s high with a stop beneath yesterday’s low. $AWAY has solid fundamentals with a composite ranking of 97, so it is an A rated stock for us. This setup is called “the combo”, where a stock has solid relative strength and very strong fundamentals.
