FCX trade ideas
Freeport-McMoran possible trajectoryLong term I'm bullish but if we can get a lift in USD and see metal take a dip we could be looking at a near term high. In an ideal world we bounce up to fill gap at 13 and then roll over and drop back to $5 levels. Tough to believe it could take such a battering but those gaps are there to be filled. One to watch this week.
FCX - Bearish signals failedI always look to short or buy around value, depending on the preceding trend. On FCX, I have been looking for a short.
On the daily chart, a class A bearish divergence formed, right at value on the weekly; that is a great bearish signal. However, price failed to close below 11.50$, thus never confirming the divergence. Today, there was a very nice bounce, turning the impulse green and making a new swing high.
Whenever such bearish signals fail, it is almost always a good idea to go long; same thing applies to failing bullish signals.
I am looking for FCX to reach the strong resistance area at 17$.
Recap and update on FCXNYSE:FCX
My update for FCX,
I mentioned this stock as an idea for short. the trade is a daily trade, the stock is still weak.
Stock is forming now what's called mashroum over shape or in other hands H&S shape
The stock hits the resistance at point (A) and the low of point (B) both are strong resistance , we might see an upthrust tomorrow meaning making new high and close near the low. If we see the upthrust that will confirm on the daily the stock is in distribution phase.
Stock that could earn you big profits. FCX ShortNYSE:FCX
The chart is very descriptive,You can see the start of selling to the herd on the left at point A.
Point B is the confirmation forming an up thrust bar with high volume, this is big money selling to the herd.
And this confirms the stock is weak.
The stock then drops in a down channel and changed behavior below the EMA's
Notice at point A the low of this wide range bar will act as a resistance because of the high volume combined with it.
Today at point C the stock tagged that low from below, and closes as a no demand bar (narrow spread, close in the mid up bar with low volume) there is no chance to break above the low of point A with such low volume.
The stock now in a down trend with weakness in the back ground from A and B.
The no demand at C confirms a very strong sell signal in such conditions.
FCX From here to $11.25 Looks like FCX price linger point may be around $11.20 - $11.50. This is neither a recommendation nor advice for any trade. It is my own trade journal to improve chart reading skills and validate price predictions. Typically my target price is supposed to hit before hitting nearest swing low/high (depending on if price prediction is long or short)
