Additional down indication for AALHistorically when the Coppock Curve reaches this level, the stock drops an average of 12.9% over the next few weeks. There is no clear bottom based on the current trends, but my conservative drop is to at least 42.50. The bottom could very likely be in the low 30s. The key to a drop below 42.50 could be around the earnings release.
AMERICAN AIRLINES is groundedHistorically when the Vortex Indicator reaches this level, the stock drops an average of 13% over the next few weeks. There is no clear bottom based on the current trends, but my conservative drop is to at least 42.50. The bottom could very likely be in the low 30s.

Third Indicator of upward move for BABAHistorically when the Coppock Curve reaches this level, the stock moves at least 1% higher over the next few weeks with an average move of 15%. This chart depicts multiple levels of interest over the next few months.
In the current MACRO trend channel, it took BABA about 64 trading days to go from the top of the channel to the bottom (Nov 15-Feb 16) in a move that lost 31.44%. This same top to bottom was recently repeated in 60 trading days and only 21.72% was shed.
After the 2016 drop, BABA moved bottom to a top in about 49 trading days which gained 37.96%. My longer term outlook is for something similar to occur. IF BABA breaks above its current down trend channel, upward movement could continue toward 109.23 around March 1.
For now my conservative play is a move to at least 96.00 over the next few weeks. World events could keep BABA in the current down trend channel for a much longer period of time. Of interest is a potential selloff after DJY0 reaches 20K and/or the swearing in of President Trump which brings to fruition some international policies. Trump could stir up tariffs, embargos, or other vital trade implications especially with China that could weaken some of BABA's international imports and exports.
Bottom line, look for BABA to move to 96.00, and then 109.00 once the current MICRO trend is broken upward.
More Technical Positives for BABAHistorically when the Vortex Indicator reaches this level, the stock moves at least 1% higher over the next few weeks. This chart depicts multiple levels of interest over the next few months.
In the current MACRO trend channel, it took BABA about 64 trading days to go from the top of the channel to the bottom (Nov 15-Feb 16) in a move that lost 31.44%. This same top to bottom was recently repeated in 60 trading days and only 21.72% was shed.
After the 2016 drop, BABA moved bottom to a top in about 49 trading days which gained 37.96%. My longer term outlook is for something similar to occur. IF BABA breaks above its current down trend channel, upward movement could continue toward 109.23 around March 1.
For now my conservative play is a move to at least 96.00 over the next few weeks. World events could keep BABA in the current down trend channel for a much longer period of time.

Bottom line, look for BABA to move to 96.00, and then 109.00 once the current MICRO trend is broken upward.
Another indicator Visa will move upHistorically when the RSI reaches this level the stock moves up at least 1.00% over the next few weeks with an average move of 3.75%. The stock will most likely fall over the next few trading days before testing resistance at 83.70. I plan to place CALLS over the next few days on the dip.
Visa pointing up soonHistorically when the coppock curve reaches this level the stock gains a an average of 5.11% over the next few weeks. Because Visa has had 4 consecutive days of solid gains, it may drop over the next 1-2 trading days. Buying the dip would be a great options play. The pink zone is the target area for the price to reach. My conservative play is a move to at least 83.70 which has been a frequent area of resistance.
SLIGHT MOVE UP, BEFORE NEXT DROPHistorically when the TSI reaches this level, VZ rises at least 1.08% and moves an average of 3.10%. Most movement is between 2-3%. My conservative play is a movement to at least 55.75 over the next few weeks.
The previous movement from bottom to top in this trend channel took 52 trading days and the total move was 24.43%. I have laid out where those levels would be in this instance. the 52nd trading day is outside of my time period that I monitor but movement could still reach that level which is around 57.30. So far we are 35 trading days since the bottom was last attained.
UPSIDE FOR ALIBABAHistorically when the RSI reaches its current level with BABA, the stock rises a minimum of 3.27% and has an average movement of 9.91%. I have outlined a trendline that has served as support and resistance multiple times in the previous year. Although the top of the trendchannel is well above this point, I project a conservative move to 101.60 over the next few weeks.
There may be a slight pullback tomorrow, especially with the non-farm payroll and unemployment numbers are due out and looking less positive. Near the end of the day tomorrow or shortly after the OPEN on Monday could be great opportunities to BUY a CALL.
Lacking Positive Energy for KMIHistorically when the True Strength Indicator reaches its current level the stock drops a minimum of 1.18% with an average of 5.06% over the next few weeks. I am tracking multiple potential trendchannel support levels and the first level to get hit coincides with a shared support level at 19.83. From the CLOSE on December 30, 2016, movement to this level would equate to a drop around 4.25% which is very realistic.
Airline CooloffHistorically when the vortex negative hits this level the stock drops at least 1.21% with an average drop around 13.57%. A drop around this average is possible, but DAL has not been trading at large enough daily spreads to make this likely in the next few weeks. A more conservative drop would be near the 47.56 mark which has been a pseudo support/resistance level.
Even more bad indicators for FBHistorically when FB reaches this vortex negative level, the stock drops an average of 6.71%. FB is currently in a bearish pennant and due to break out up or down. Based on historics, the pennant, and potential support levels, it looks like a drop to 108.23 is highly likely over the next few weeks.
I am slightly skeptical of the pennant break within the next few trading days, but those believing Trump will reduce capital gains tax rates may conduct massive profit taking for calendar year 2017 while there is profit to be had in order to reap the reward come tax time in Spring of 2018. Large amounts of profit taking can become the catalyst for a near term drop in markets, or a correction which could lead to a greater than 6% drop.
Bold Prediction Unwelcoming to FB fansHistorically when FB reaches this RSI level, the stock drops more than 1% with an average drop of 5.94%. FB is currently in a bearish pennant and due to break out up or down. Based on historics, the pennant, and potential support levels, it looks like a drop to 108.23 is highly likely over the next few weeks.
I am slightly skeptical of the pennant break within the next few trading days, but those believing Trump will reduce capital gains tax rates may conduct massive profit taking for calendar year 2017 while there is profit to be had in order to feel the reward come tax time in Spring of 2018.
The common support level is 0.01% away from the average drop when this RSI has historically been met. This could be a coincidence, but also a helpful indicator of where a selloff could lead.
When it rains it pours on BXHistorically when the coppock curve reaches this level the stock drops at least 1% over the next few weeks with an average drop of more than 11%. I am looking at two levels over that time but also monitoring two timeframes for a significant loss to take place.
My conservative drop is around 25.81 where the stock floated multiple times since the election. This would only be a 4.53%, but conservatively most likely to be a sure thing.
The other play is near the bottom of the trendchannel. BX has dropped from the top of the channel to the bottom twice this year. The first occurred over 11 trading days and the second occurred over 53 trading days. Since BX is already beyond that 11 day point, I marked out 23 days (roughly half of 53) and 53 trading days. If the bottom of the channel is hit, it could happen within one of these timeframes.
A perfect storm of levels are pointing at January 17 (23 days from the top of the trend channel) and January 18 (roughly 10% drop from January 2). The 10 percent drop is a more conservative figure than the average 11.56% decline.
FB pennant ending soonFB is currently forming a pennant and the apex is around the first week in February. Most likely the pennant will break down from its current level, or bounce and break up.
First things first, FB is going down. Historically when the Coppock Curve reaches its current level, the stock drops an average of 7.78% with a minimum move around 0.75%. My conservative take is a slight drop over the next few weeks to at least 115.60. If this is the breakout for the pennant the move could be much lower putting a 7% drop in play.
WHERE IS THE NEXT BOTTOM for BX??Historically when this level is reached on the VI, the stock drops at least another 1.19%. The average drop is 10.92%. A drop beyond 10.92% is not out of the question at this point.
The current trendchannel has a bottom more than 12% from the CLOSE on December 28. My conservative move is a drop to 25.95 where the stock hit eight days in a row at the end of November.
Last time the stock was at 27.33, it dropped 11.45% over the following 11 days which also supports a pending significant drop.
