Enphase Energy: Tight Consolidation & Golden Cross

Solar energy has been one of a few bright spots in this bearish market. Today we’re looking at the company in the group with the largest market cap: Enphase Energy (ENPH).

The first pattern on this daily chart is the uptrend since mid-May -- the opposite of the broader market’s price action. In fact, ENPH hasn’t made a new 52-week low in 117 sessions. (The S&P 500 last made a new low 16 candles ago.)

Next is the tight consolidation illustrated by Bollinger Bands Width.

Third, you have the level around $220. ENPH probed and reversed at this area in April, June and July. But combined with the uptrend and narrowing price range, traders may look for a breakout if prices manage to cross this resistance. That could be especially true with earnings expected later this month.

Finally, notice how the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) is just now rising above the 200-day SMA. That kind of “golden cross” may signal that the longer-term trend is getting more positive. (Only 10 percent of the S&P 500 have their 50-day SMAs above the 200-day SMAs, according to TradeStation data.)
