Honeywell, $HON, comes into the week with a move over the 200 day SMA and at resistance. The Bollinger Bands® are opening higher to allow a move up. In an interesting twist it just printed a Death Cross, with the 50 day SMA crossing down through the 200 day SMA. Despite this the RSI is rising into the bullish zone with the MACD turning positive as price rises off a 61.8% retracement of the last leg higher.
There is resistance at 197.75 and 199.25 then 202 and 205 before 209.50 and 212 then 217. Support lower sits at 193 and 190. Short interest is low under 1%. The stock pays a dividend with an annual yield of 2.10% and has traded ex-dividend since February 23rd. The company is expected to report earnings next on April 27th.
The April 28 Expiry options chain has largest open interest at the 185 and then 190 put strikes. On the call side it is biggest at 197.50. In the May options open interest is spread from 195 to 180 on the put side, biggest at the 190 strike. On the call side it is focused at the 210 strike. Finally, the June options chain shows open interest spread from 210 to 165 and biggest at the 190 put. The June calls show open interest spread from 190 to 260 with a plateau from 210 to 230.

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 heading into April options expiration week, saw equity markets showed resilience holding up despite a building narrative of a possible recession.
Elsewhere look for Gold to continue its uptrend while Crude Oil has a short term move higher in consolidation. The US Dollar Index continues to drift to the downside while US Treasuries pullback in their consolidation. The Shanghai Composite and Emerging Markets look to continue in consolidation.
The Volatility Index looks to remain low and stable making the path easier for equity markets to the upside. The charts of the SPY and QQQ remain strong on the longer timeframe while on the shorter timeframe both the QQQ remains in short term consolidation while the SPY is breaking higher. The IWM remains weaker holding in consolidation after a failed short term move higher. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.
