See Why I Am Buying Gilead Sciences $GILD Here There is something important going on with Gilead Sciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:GILD). It is likely telling investors the downtrend is nearing an end and significant upside is on the horizon. Based on what I will explain to all investors, I will be buying Gilead Sciences at $65.75... The basis for my thesis comes from the way the stock has acted over the last two months. Since early February 2017, Gilead Sciences jumped from multi-year lows, surging 10% in one week. Over the last 7 weeks, the stock has every-so-slowly inched back down. This is a major change in character from a stock that usually collapsed sharply in a week and took 7 weeks to inch back up before its next collapse. In other words, the price action is showing institutional (big money) accumulation. In addition, the valuation is very attractive. Analysts continue to strongly believe Gilead Sciences needs to buy some drug companies and I believe the company has heard them. I am sure acquisitions will be on the horizon as Gilead Sciences is sitting on a huge pile of cash. Gareth Soloway InTheMoneyStocks
Telecom Stocks Retreat, But Know These Trade Levels Two of the leading telecom stocks in the U.S. are Verizon Communications (NYSE:VZ) and AT&T Inc (NYSE:T). Recently, these two companies have been on the prowl for acquisitions. Verizon has bought AOL and Yahoo Inc (NASDAQ:YHOO) over the past year trying to boost its online presence. AT&T Inc has bought Direct TV and Straight Path Communication. Many analysts are expecting these two telecom giants to try and make other acquisitions in the near term future. This expectation should continue to keep the pressure on these two leading telecom stocks. Traders and investors should take note that Verizon Communication stock will have very good chart support around the $46.25 level. This area that has been defended by the institutional money in January and November of 2016. This area seems to be the line in the sand for the stock and should be the next major level to buy the stock again. The next major support level for AT&T stock will be around the $38.40 level. This is an area where the stock broke out in November 2016 and should serve as an important trade level again when tested. Nicholas Santiago InTheMoneyStocks
Extreme Trade Alert: Home Depot $HD Poised To Move Here... I am short Home Depot Inc (NYSE:HD) based on multiple indicators showing an extreme overbought condition. The fact that Home Depot Inc (NYSE:HD) has chopped sideways over the last few months, shows institutional selling as funds and small investors buy. This is a passing off of the hot potato before the fall. Ultimately, when the trend line below breaks (seen in the chart below), Home Depot $HD will collapse quickly. The downside target I have near-term is $135.00. In addition, investors should be very concerned with the recent jobs data and lack of mortgage loans being taken out. This may show signs of a weakening economy. If that is the case, Home Depot $HD will see the brunt of the slowdown in sales and revenues. Gareth Soloway InTheMoneyStocks
Buying Past Breakout Levels To Make Money Many traders and investors are always talking about the story or press releases from a company. In fact, if you watch CNBC, Bloomberg or Fox Business News you will always hear why such and such a stock is going to move higher. There always seems to be a catalyst or story behind the coming move higher for the particular equity that is being touted. Rarely, will the talking head in the financial media talk about chart reading or technical analysis. Lets take a look at a stock which has very good chart support coming up for a potential trade. The name of the company is Jacobs Engineering Group Inc (NYSE:JEC). This stock has been selling off since late January when it traded as high as $63.42 a share. Today, Jacobs Engineering Group Inc stock is trading at $53.48 a share. This is obviously a significant pullback in the share price of JEC stock. So where is the buy level for JEC stock since it has declined so much? Well, this is when we want to look at the weekly chart to see if the there is technical reason for a bounce higher or for the selling to stop. The first thing that traders should note on the weekly chart is that the 200-weekly moving average sits at $50.62 a share. This level also happens to coincide with the November 2016 breakout. Now this is what a technical chart reader would call institutional sponsorship. This trade level is where I would be a buyer of JEC stock. Now, patiently wait for the equity to trade down to the $50.62 area on the chart. Institutional traders and investors will generally support stocks and markets at these prior breakout levels. This same technique can often be applied on multiple time-frames for day trading, swing trading and investing. Obviously, you will and should test this method first, but with some practice you will find this tactic to be extremely useful when trading all equities. Nicholas Santiago InTheMoneyStocks
Breakdown Coming On Sprint $S. Know This Level... Shares of Sprint Corp (NYSE:S) are ready to break lower, out of a bearish triangle pattern on the daily stock chart. For the last few weeks, Sprint has been hammering on the bottom of the triangle and should break next week. The downside will be swift with cell carrier heading to $7.40, the daily 200 moving average. This is where it will find significant support and a likely buying opportunity.

Key Trade Level Approaches For This Leading Insurance Stock Traders and investors should note that the leading insurance company stock American International Group, Inc. (NYSE:AIG) has been declining lower since the start of the year. In January 2017, AIG stock was trading as high as $67.47 a share. Today, AIG stock is trading lower by $59.43 a share. Many traders and investors are now wondering if this leading insurance stock is now trading at an attractive level. Well, the chart is telling us there should be a little bit more downside in the cards for AIG stock. The weekly chart of AIG is signaling a major support level around the $58.00 area. This price level is where the institutional money was injected into the stock back in November 2016. If you look at the chart below you will clearly see the big weekly chart reversal pattern that occurred. Often the institutional money will support the stock when this level is retested. Please understand, AIG will report earnings on May 3, 2017. So there is a good chance this level could be tested around that time of the earnings release. Either way, the $58.00 area is a solid buy level for the stock. Nicholas Santiago InTheMoneyStocks
Strong Buy Alert On AK Steel Holding Corporation $AKS. Take Note Of This... There is a fantastic swing trade buy on shares of AK Steel Holding Corporation (NYSE:AKS) based on a gap fill support level tagged today. This is a huge level and will likely trigger a monster bounce in the next few days. The price point entry buy level is the gap fill at $6.15. The upside bounce expected is $7.65 (+25%). To put it in perspective and show this bounce isn't even anything that big, AK Steel Holding Corp $AKS was trading over $11.25 in mid-January. This means AK Steel has declined 45% in just a few months. To expect a bounce back to $7.65 is nothing. The recent sharp decline in shares of AK Steel and other steel stocks is due to President Donald Trump's cozy behavior with China. The steel companies had hoped he would smack tariffs on China steel coming into the United States. That looks very unlikely at this point. However, as I always say, it is likely that he will Tweet about possibly doing it in the near future, causing an instant pop in these stocks. Note the chart below... Gareth Soloway InTheMoneyStocks
Or maybe 5.50. Agree that this is better than a swing trade. This is a potential 5-bagger-plus in the making. See the AKS thread.
Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) Takes Down The DJIA This morning, leading financial stock Goldman Sachs Group Inc (NYSE:GS) is trading sharply lower after reporting earnings. This financial giant is part of the thirty stocks in the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA). It should be noted that the DJIA is a price cap weighted index, therefore Goldman Sachs has a very high weighting in the group. A fair case can be made that today's decline is Goldman Sachs stock price is the sole cause for a 50.0 to 60.0 point decline in the DJIA. Short term day traders should watch for important chart support on Goldman Sachs Group (NYSE:GS) stock around the $210.47 level. Swing traders should watch for major chart support around the $196.67 level. This trade level matches up with the 50-week moving average which is used by many institutional investors and traders.

This Stocks Nears Major Bounce Level, I Am A Buyer Right Here... This is a pure technical chart play on United States Steel Corporation (NYSE:X). The stock has fallen off a cliff as President Trump has gone soft on China. The worry is he will no longer tax steel imports as once promised. This monster fall in shares of United States Steel gives investors an 'on sale' opportunity to swing trade the stock. The level to buy is $27.85, only pennies from the current price. The reasoning is simple. There is a former pivot high from July 29th, 2016 at $27.85 as well as the daily 200 moving average. When two levels coincide, the level because much firmer and more likely to see a strong bounce. The expected swing trade bounce would be approximately 10% over the course of a week or so. Remember, swing trades are not long term investments, they are trades you take for a week or a few weeks, looking to catch near-term moves. Let's see if United States Steel Corp hits the buy level...

Looking good to me, Joe . Keep in mind, the PnF doesn't tell you how it will get down there, just that it probably will. Gareth's bounce area will attract some attention, as you know, most of the eyeballs watch that 200; how high it bounces is yet to be seen. The CM should be selling into it and then buying back at your price. I would guess Gareth's bounce would be no higher than 50% of the last down-swing, putting it into resistance in the 31 to 32 area. My guess agrees with Gareths estimate of a 10% move; from ~28 + 2.80 = 30.80, say $31. So, it would seem to be safer and more profitable to trade with the trend, short at $31 down to $21 = 32%.
Is The U.S. Dollar Bull Market Over? The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) has been soaring higher since September 2014. At that time, the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) traded around $85.00 per contract. Today, the U.S. Dollar Index is trading around $99.75 per contract. Many talking heads on the financial television channels are calling for a collapse in the U.S. Dollar, but that has not occurred. In fact, the U.S. Dollar Index has actually strengthened since bottoming in early 2008 when it traded as low as $70.69. This year, the U.S. Dollar Index topped out on January 3, 2017 at $103.82. Since that top, the U.S. Dollar Index has actually been making lower highs on the daily chart. Lower highs are generally a bearish indication for lower prices, but at some point the U.S. Dollar Index will find a solid institution support level and be defended. Over the past few weeks, President Trump has voiced his opinion that he likes a weaker U.S. Dollar because it will help boost U.S. exports. Since that statement by President Trump the U.S. Dollar Index has continued to declined further. According to the current chart pattern it seems like the U.S. Dollar Index is simply going through a normal correction after such a big run in price and time. In the near term, the charts are signaling a decline in the U.S. Dollar Index to the $97.50 level. This area should be where the institutional traders will be waiting to support the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY). The larger time-frame pattern signals a U.S. Dollar Index move all the way up to the $105.00 level ultimately. What can be the catalyst for this move higher? Perhaps, problems in Europe, Japan and China. Who knows? This is why I follow the charts, the money flow and chart pattern tell us the trade. So what is the trade setup? When the U.S. Dollar Index declines to the $98.00 - $97.00 level it is time to buy the Greenback. Some ways to play the U.S. Dollar on the long side are to buy U.S. Dollar Index contracts (DX-M7), or the PowerShares DB US Dollar Index Bullish ETF (NYSEARCA:UUP).
