Honeywell, $HON, started higher in December, and continued to a top at the end of April. Since then it has digested the move, consolidating in a falling channel. The price crossed below the 50 day SMA at the end of the month and bounced. It then returned to the top of the channel last week. It ended the week breaking above the channel Friday. It is within $2 of the all-time high entering the week with the RSI rising in the bullish zone with the MACD crossed up and rising.

At the top of the Bollinger Bands, they are flat, and would usually need to open to allow a further move higher. There is no resistance above 174. Support lower sits at 171 then 1768 and 164. Short interest is low under 1%. The stock pays a dividend with a yield of 1.90% and went ex-dividend May 23rd. The company is expected to report earnings next July 18th.

The July options, covering the earnings report, are biggest at the 155 put and then the 170 and 175 call strikes. But all 3 are relatively light.

After reviewing over 1,000 charts, I have found some good setups for the week.  These were selected and should be viewed in the context of the broad Market Macro picture reviewed Friday which with the May employment report behind and heading into a light economic news week, sees the equity markets are looking strong after a fast and hard reversal higher.

Elsewhere look for Gold to continue higher while Crude Oil continues to move lower. The US Dollar Index looks to continue lower in the updrift while US Treasuries consolidate their move higher. The Shanghai Composite has renewed the downtrend while the bounce in Emerging Markets continues to move them higher.

Volatility looks to continue to ease making it easier for equity index ETF’s SPY, IWM and QQQ, to move up. Their charts all show a strong move higher on the week, and firm reversals on the weekly chart. The daily charts show the SPY and QQQ with strong moves up all week, while the IWM stalled mid week and consolidated. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.
