This Stock Is Dropping $FAST, Know This Support Level Fastenal Company (NASDAQ:FAST) is leader in wholesale distribution of industrial and construction supplies. Today, the stock is trading lower by 8.10 percent to $50.01 a share. The decline comes after the company reported earnings earlier today. Traders should note that the stock is now trading sharply below its important 50-day moving average. This puts the stock in a weak technical position on the charts. There should still be some support around the 200-day moving average in the near term. Should that level fail to hold as support on a closing basis then the next major support area will be around the $45.00 level. At this time, the $45.00 level will be a very solid area for a potential swing trade. Nicholas Santiago InTheMoneyStocks
Facebook $FB Has Upside To This Master Level Shares of Facebook (FB) continue higher for the second day in a row as Mark Zuckerberg testifies in front of Congress. The Facebook CEO is handling himself well and investors are rewarding him with higher stock prices. Once this testimony is over, shares are likely to continue higher on relief to the $175.00 level. However, once here, the short signals appear heavy. The $175.00 level is a key even number that coincides with the daily 50 moving average, daily 200 moving average and a Fibonacci 50% retrace. The combination of all these levels screams a maximum upside move and a likely great shorting opportunity. The bottom line is, investors can be long Facebook to $175.00 but should then sell or go short for the next leg lower to $133.00. ] Gareth Soloway InTheMoneyStocks
Bristol Myers Squibb $BMY Tests Key Level, Here Is The Play Bristol Myers Squibb Co (NYSE:BMY) is a leader in the discovery, development, licensing, manufacturing, marketing, distribution and sale of biopharmaceutical products. Today, the stock is trading lower by $2.05 to $58.12 a share. This morning, the price target was lowered by Citigroup (NYSE:C) after meetings with Pfizer Inc (NYSEFE) illustrated a lack of interest in a potential merger with Bristol Myers Squibb (NYSE:BMY). The stock is now testing the important $58.00 level. A failure to hold this key support area would signal further weakness in the chart. The next major support level for BMY will be around the $52.00 area, this would be a solid long side trade for BMY stock. Nicholas Santiago InTheMoneyStocks
On Watch: General Electric $GE Possible Major Breakout Shares of General Electric (GE) continue to hold inside a tight triangle chart pattern. Note the chart below to see the triangle. This pattern signals a potential breakout on any move above $13.25. The upside target is $15.30 and could happen within days of the breakout. Analysts continue to be overly bearish on General Electric which tells me the stock price has already factored in most, if not all of the bad news. Remember, stock prices adjust quickly to current 'views'. So with a majority of analysts already highly negative, investors have sold the stock to meet those expectations. This puts General Electric in a unique spot to come out with an average quarter next Friday and see a very positive reaction in shares. In addition, the General Electric CEO was on CNBC today talking about how the company has to put up or shut up. In other words, they need to prove they can rock it in the next year, starting with the quarterly report on April 20th, 2018. In my humble opinion, the CEO would not say that unless he knew the quarter was going to be better than expected. I am long the stock and loving the upside potential. Gareth Soloway InTheMoneyStocks
