TNDM update:

2010-10-24T13:06:00.000-07:00

TNDM has finally made a definitive break out of its recent downtrend as of this month. If you take a look at a shorter-term daily chart, you'll see TNDM is making higher highs and higher lows, which is consistent with the break out of a long-term trending channel. From a technical standpoint, now may be a good time for entering into a position.

GMXR update:

2010-10-18T16:05:00.001-07:00

GMXR was unable to break trend line resistance last go round. It tested said resistance again today (10/18) but was still unable to get through. However, any amount of green tomorrow should lead to a break out.

RDI set to test resistance again this week.

RDI appears poised to retest the 4.73/4.74 triple top again this week. A break there would have this chart looking quite bullish. As an alternative buy signal, look for RSI to break 61.

GMXR has been in a downtrend for quite some time now. When stocks have sustained long-term down trends, the first test I look to in determining whether its time to buck that trend and, thus, consider entering into a position is for it to break its long-term trend line resistance. GMXR was able to test that resistance last Thursday but was unable to take it out. Purely technically speaking, if GMXR can break that resistance this week upcoming, I think it could be good for a nice ride.

The coal ETF, KOL, has been on quite the tear lately. Its recent bullish ADX signal suggests this current uptrend is the real deal. Look for a break of the yellow trend line (currently ~39$) for confirmation.
