UNH : Stronger bullish signal from the original turtle rulesThe Turtles traded liquid futures, but the original turtle rules may be applied to the single stock case.
UNH is trying to recover from its January-February fall, but the recent two long signals from the turtle rules have been failed.
However, it hit the 55-day max last week and another long signal has been triggered.
As this signal is supposedly stronger than the previous two (which were from hitting the 20-day max), UNH may resume its up-trend.
UNH trade ideas
UNH - Slowing Down or Beginning of The End?This stock has been one of the best winners in healthcare over the past few years, in terms of company health, profitability and correlation to stock price action.
All the same, just like with A , the current market uncertainty has left the stock here in a wedge pattern after its earnings report.
Even though the earnings beat estimates, it was not better than the prior growth experienced and so combined with the overbought nature of the stock, this could be a sign that the stock is topping out at least for now.
In short, if the company fails to keep growing, fear could set in and investors will go ahead to ease off the gas pedal, leading to a possible bearish trend.
For now, I am looking for a bearish drift after earnings, but I look to stay longer if a bearish trend develops; losses will be cut quickly.
Stop @ 242.18
Target @ 227.79
UNH- Call option potentialAside from UNH being a very solid stock and consistently having showed positive results, if it can break through the fib resistance at 230, it could be a very strong week especially after the big dip the market just saw. If it breaks upward, I'm looking to do about a month till expiration... 3-23 or 3-30
UNH - Bullish Continuation PatternUNH posted better then expected earnings and raised expectations
breaking 230 level on high volume to an all time high
on the tecnical side there is a bullish rising three methods pattern which is an cotinuation to the upside
note previus pattern indicated on the chart - a nice bull flag
all signs show strong upside momentum
Breakout or Pullback on United Healthcare?Note: these are monthly candles and the scale is logarithmic.
UNH has been trading pretty consistently within a parallel channel on the logarithmic scale chart since 2009. UNH is now at the upper bound of that channel. There were a few months in 2011 where the stock broke out and managed to stay above the top of the channel before it came back and has traded inside there ever since. Looking at those months, the stock managed to go about 10% higher in price than the upper bound of the channel. Considering current market conditions, UNH may break out of this channel again, and I suspect it would have about 10% upside if it did. If this break out sustains, look to see the top of this channel act as support going forward. There is also the possibility that it could pull back and continue trading within the channel.
