MARK needs a correctionStock moved up too high too fast and will need to correct for short term gains to be captured. Watch for .382 fib level at $10 and .5 level at $8.5. It'd be interesting if we tested the .5 level since it correlates to the 2014 high. Also, VI- looks to be stretched downwards too much which will probably move up soon to create selling pressure.

A possible reversal at this point could also occur due to the Stochastic level in the oversold level.

The overall Macro trend is forming a wedge with the apex around mid-May. It is highly likely Kellogg will break out of this wedge before May. Based on the current readings, the break from the wedge could occur in the current downtrend. The determining factor will be when the stock crosses through the support line currently around 72.20. A strong break down with greater than 3 million in volume would lead to a deeper drop for the stock. If the support is not broken on this trip, a break above resistance (top yellow line) with volume could signify a stronger move up.

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. The key to a drop below 42.50 could be around the earnings release.
