The Universe, week of September 28, 2015… Dodging (some) bullets.
[Note: I publish “The Universe” every weekend, updating my support and resistance calculations for Marijuana sector stocks. It is not a projection, but a handy reference… Non-Marijuana stocks are covered elsewhere during the week.]
The stock market has been ranging sideways. albeit in a very wide range with very wide intraday ranges. I still expect Round-Two of the plunging action that ended August. Last week’s market stories included the drug pricing controversy, which took a toll on Biotechs. So, my bearish picks GWPH and INSY declined, as did my bullish pick CARA.
Other stocks in the Cannabis sector are largely sitting things out. Not necessarily in a good way — VAPE hit my downside target in the .09 range but never developed any bullish behavior, and ended the week down another 50% from there. That’s not going to bottom immediately… TRTC, meanwhile, is a bottoming pattern that has taken too long to resolve, and has instead become top-heavy. I’ll review this again if new lows were to print.
Attractive patterns still include CANN, whose pullback should end this week if the recovery is valid. A new entry is THCZ which shot up out of a basing pattern that is likely to find a second wind.

Hi Rod, Would a fresh low be next for FCX?
FCX — I’m looking for 6.75 to be tested, and potentially also to contain the low.
CARA – Next lower support around 12.65?
CARA — Closing under 14.25 is less important than the probes under it all overlapping 14.25. Which yesterday’s closing bars did. Regardless, that wouldn’t qualify as a bottom. But a temporary bounce to 17.75 becomes more likely.
CARA — No longer overlapping 14.25 intraday. But volume isn’t expanding on the probe under it. I’m monitoring for basing to start.
Suddenly volume arrives… If the late dip wasn’t capitulative and ending the decline, then basing will take much longer to develop.
CARA – I’m getting the sense from the broader market that this may still not have based. What do you think?
CARA — This pricing works as a low, especially if today’s close were above 14.25. But the pattern doesn’t yet work as a base for launching a durable rally. A couple of days of that around here could then launch at least an initial upleg or corrective bounce targeting 17.75
where would you be a buyer of FEYE on this CSCO takeover rumor?
So far it seems that the market’s not really buying it.
FEYE — Closing above 32.75 would help to seal a bottom. Especially today, with volume improving considerably. The risk:reward to being long is very attractive with near-term support at 31.10 needing to hold to avoid extending the decline.
cool, thanks.
SUNE – current support & resistance
SUNE — 6.97 support, which was just recently tested and producing a bounce, and 10.37 resistance
