Gold Just Broke Out, Ominous Signal For Stocks? Gold futures (GC) have been surging higher over the past three trading sessions. Traders that do not have access to the futures market can track and follow the SPDR Gold Shares (NYSEARCA:GLD). This popular ETF has climbed higher by more than $4.50 since May 21, 2019. The precious metal seems to be catching a serious bid since the stock market selloff has escalated late last week. Surprisingly, today the markets are bouncing higher and gold is still catching a very strong bid with spot gold (GC) up by $12.90 to $1324.00 an ounce . This tells me that investors want the precious metal for security and safety. It also signals to me that they do not really believe that today's stock market bounce is sustainable. Gold is the ultimate investment vehicle in times of fear. Traders and investor should note that the GLD is getting short term overbought on the daily chart. This tells me that the pattern over the next week or two will be extremely important. Should a bullish pattern form then it could signal a potential move up in the GLD to the $130.00 level and possibly more. Remember this old rule, the best moves come from failed moves. Spot gold and the GLD just broke out of a daily chart downtrend and that is the way the markets talk to us. Nicholas Santiago InTheMoneyStocks

Ambarella $AMBA Reverses Early Rally, Watch Out! Last night, leading semiconductor stock, Ambarella Inc (NASDAQ:AMBA), reported earnings that seemed to be celebrated by investors on Wall Street. Unfortunately, the stock has reversed its early pre-market gains. The stock is now flat on the session trading at $39.75 a share. Traders should note that this stock has been weak since May 22, 2019 when news broke that the company could be adversely affected by tariffs and possible blacklisting with one of its largest customers. At this time, this stock looks poised to ultimately trade much lower on the charts. I will be waiting a few days to see how this pattern plays out before buying put options on this stock. The next major support level for AMBA stock will be around the $31.00 level. Nicholas Santiago InTheMoneyStocks

Keep This Level On The Radar for VMware $VMW VMware Inc (NYSE:VMW) is a leading cloud computing software stock that has been under pressure recently. The stock topped out on May 16, 2019 at $206.79 a share. Since that high pivot, the stock has declined sharply and is now trading at $168.02 a share. Over the past four trading sessions the stock has been forming a bearish daily chart base above its important 200-day moving average. A weekly close below the 200-day moving average will likely cause another leg lower in the stock. Traders should note that the stock has major support around the $150.00 level. This important support area is a major retrace level and also a level where the stock broke out in February 2019. Very often, stocks will be defended at their prior break-out levels.

This is where the stock pivoted on May 2, 2019. Often, when a stock is in this type of a strong up-trend it will be defended by the institutional crowd when the first important support level is tested. Nicholas Santiago InTheMoneyStocks
