It’s Time To Own Coal Stocks: KOL, CNX, JOY, BTU

Whenever the word “Coal” comes up in conversation, a reaction of disgust has become the standard. The reasons range from, “It’s dirty” to, “We don’t need it” to, “Obama” (whatever that means)…..But I don’t know anyone who likes this space. Not a single person in fact. I bet I probably grossed some people out with this headline alone.
So as we like to do around here, when no one likes them it’s probably time to look a little bit closer. We’ll focus our attention today on shares of the Market Vectors Coal ETF $KOL. The first thing that stands out to me is the beautiful 5-wave pattern from the 2011 highs down to last year’s lows:

The next thing that sticks out to me is the potential double bottom formation down here near 17.25. This is a weekly candlestick chart. Look how on the second low last month, momentum (measured using a 14-period RSI) was putting in a much higher low. That bullish divergence stands out after a 5-wave decline.  (more)

To review EZ’s stock, please take a look at the 1-year chart of EZPW (EZCORP, inc.) below with my added notations:

EZPW has formed a key price level at $12.00 (blue) over the last (2) months. You can see how that level has been both a current support and prior resistance. In addition, the stock has created a down trending resistance starting from the middle of February (red). These two lines combined have EZPW stuck trading within a common chart pattern known as a descending triangle (or a pennant). At some point, the stock has to break support or break its string of lower highs.

The Tale of the Tape: EZPW has formed a descending triangle pattern. A short trade could be made on a break of the $12 support level. A breakthrough $13 would break the down trending resistance and would set up a potential long trade.

FuelCell Energy (NASDAQ: FCEL):

Successful short-term trading is a learnable skill. It takes a combination of a keen eye to identify changing fundamentals within the market or company and the ability to read price. By "reading price," I mean the aptitude to study price changes on a spread sheet or chart in order to make an educated guess as to whether the price trend will continue or reverse.

Please take a look at the 6-month chart of WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc.) below with my added notations:

There are two prices in particular that standout on WWE. The first is the 52-week high resistance at $25 (red). The other is the $22 level (green) that has been a key support throughout the entire month of February. The stock appears to be on its way back down to the $22 support, which could provide a bounce higher.

The Tale of the Tape: WWE has key levels of $22 and $25. A long trade could be made at $22, or on a break through $25, with a stop placed below the level of entry. However, if the stock were to break below $22 traders might want to look to get short on the stock.
