StockTwits Top 10 Shows Small Gain
The StockTwits Top 10 portfolio is up slightly to begin the month. Most of the stocks in the portfolio are basically flat, showing small gains or losses. Seven stocks are up and three are down.
Twitter Top 10 Continues Higher
The Twitter Top 10 Portfolio continues to paint a pattern of turning the corner and moving higher. This month the portfolio is being held back by El Pollo Loco (LOCO) which is down nearly 20%.
End Of Consolidation Warning For S&P 500 Index
The consolidation warning for the S&P 500 Index (SPX) based on Twitter momentum that was issued on 7/11/14 has been cleared as of the close on 8/14/14.
Apple Showing Positive Momentum
StockTwits momentum for Apple (AAPL) is breaking above a down trend line that warned of consolidation at the end of July.
Chasing And Indecision For 3D Systems
Social media is flashing a caution sign for 3D Systems (DDD). The pattern painted by both Twitter and StockTwits momentum show indecision by traders, which leads to chasing price.
Some Positive Signs
I’m starting to see some positive signs that the dip is behind us. First is Elder Impulse for the S&P 500 Index (SPX). It has a tiny blue bar for the week. If it can hold or move to green by Friday it will be a very good sign.
Buy Setup For Starbucks
At the close on 8/8/14 a buy setup was signaled for Starbucks (SBUX) from Twitter momentum. The signal is generated by 7 Day momentum from the Twitter stream breaking above its down trend line after a positive divergence lasting three weeks.
StockTwits Top 10 Rolls Over
Over the past week the StockTwits Top 10 portfolio got caught in the market drop.
How Low Will It Go?
It’s probably too early to break out this chart, but I thought I’d show it anyway. Usually when the market falls steeply over a few days then consolidates for several days it is only the half way point of the move.
Looking For The Next Leaders
The time to build a buy list is when the market is falling. One way to find stocks that will be the next leaders is to keep track of stocks that maintain support on social media when the rest of the market is falling.
How Bad Is It?
I’m starting to see more things that suggest the worst isn’t behind us. The churn during March and April didn’t show big signs of fear or mass selling.
Facebook Still Has Strong Support On Social Media
Facebook (FB) still has very strong support from both Twitter and StockTwits.
Stocks That Have Held Up Against The Market
Below are the lists from both StockTwits and Twitter.
Precious Metals Showing Positive Momentum
I’m seeing a buy setup for aggressive traders in the Gold Miner’s ETF (GDX). Momentum from both Twitter and StockTwits has confirmed the recent short term rally in GDX. After several weeks of consolidation, momentum is now breaking higher. This creates a low risk long opportunity in GDX.
Breadth The Indicator To Watch
Over the course of this year I’ve been consistent in repeating that I didn’t think the market could suffer a correction unless breadth broke down.
Twitter Momentum Still Warning
The Trade Followers Twitter momentum indicator for the S&P 500 Index (SPX) issued a consolidation warning on 7/11/14. That warning is still in effect.
