Three major stocks in the United States look like they are going to be a bit mixed, so therefore it will more likely than not lead to a “stock picker’s market” on Monday.
Amazon looks like it is going to open up a little bit higher, based on pre-market trading as we continue to bounce around between the 200 day and the 50 day EMA indicators. All things being equal, this has been a nice little pullback that we’ve had, but with a little bit of Fibonacci study here applied to the chart, you can see that the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level is in fact seemingly offering support backed up by the 200 day EMA.
Apple looks like it is going to pull back just a little bit in pre-market trading after having a very explosive move on Friday. All things being equal, this is a market that I think given enough time will have to sort itself out, but it looks like it is doing everything it can to rally again as the 50-day EMA has come into the picture, as well as $230 and an uptrend line. With this being said, I think short-term pullbacks will probably continue to be attractive for traders, and therefore they will do what they can to pick up cheap shares when they occur.
Google is up a little bit in pre-market trading after what has been a very ugly sell-off over the last couple of weeks. We have tested the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level, so perhaps some technical traders are starting to get interested. However, the 200 day EMA is above and until we clear that, I would be a little bit leery about jumping all in, but it certainly looks like we’re going to have a go at it based on pre-market trading. And therefore, I think this might be a market worth watching. If Google rallies, it should help the Nasdaq 100 and other indices right along with it.
