Under Armour (NYSE: UA) Chart Says Sell

Under Armour (NYSE: UA), a maker and marketer of performance apparel and accessories. It looks exceptionally weak on the charts following last month's downside break of both its short-term trendline and 50-day moving average.



On April 20, the day before the company's Q1 earnings announcement, the stock jumped over 3% in anticipation of the report. But then weak results sent shares tumbling 4.8% on exceptionally heavy volume after the news was released.

UA already sported waning momentum in the daily time frame, but with the new high pre-earnings and ensuing sell-off, it also formed a weekly reversal bar.

Cumulative volume continues to fall, and the path of least resistance is now down. For trend followers, that means an opportunity to ride the stock lower, perhaps to the 200-day moving average and intermediate-term trendline near $71, roughly 9% below the current price. However, there is no solid support for several points below that, so UA could fall even further.

Recommended Trade Setup:

-- Sell UA short at the market price
-- Set stop-loss at $81
-- Set initial price target at $71 for a potential 9% gain in four weeks

1-year chart of American (NASDAQ: AAL)
AAL shot higher off of its October low. Once the stock peaked, the last 4 or 5 months found AAL hitting support at $46 (green). Now that the stock looks like it may be falling down to that support level again, traders should be able to expect some sort of bounce. However, if the $46 support were to break, lower prices should follow.

The Tale of the Tape: AAL has a key level of support at $46. A trader could enter a long position at $46 with a stop placed under the level. If the stock were to break below the support a short position could be entered instead.
