Technical Trading Alert Jones Apparel Group, Inc. (NYSE: JNY) Tuesday, September 9th, 2008
Tony Golan Chief Technical Analyst Stockprofit.com™ Jones Apparel Group, Inc. (JNY) is reversing a long-term down-trend and starting a strong new long-term up-trend. The stock is now making higher highs and higher lows above a rising 200-day moving average (the red line in the chart above). Relative Strength Differential (RSD), our proprietary indicator for selecting super-strong stocks (the green histogram on the above chart), is well above the 25% threshold line again, indicating JNY is much stronger than the S&P 500 and can therefore be considered as a candidate for a buy. JNY started the current long-term up-trend when it hit a low of 12.25 below the 200-day moving average in mid-July, marked as point 1 on the chart. From there, JNY rallied to a high of 20.95 in early September, labeled as point 2 on the chart. JNY pulled back, made a higher low, and turned back up. On Monday, point 3 on the chart, JNY rallied to a with a white candlestick and above-average, rising volume, closing near its high of the day and above the previous high for a new high for the current up-trend. At new high, this setup is good for a daytrade only. Daytraders would want to buy JNY only when it goes .02 above Monday’s high, but not if it gaps up or triggers in the first 30 minutes. Therefore, if JNY doesn't go above 21.48 before 10am EST Tuesday morning, place an order to buy JNY at 21.48 Stop Day. Then, as soon as your order is filled, immediately place a stop order to sell JNY .03 below whatever the low of the day is at the time the order triggers. Then, if the stock continues to rally throughout the day, keep raising your GTC sell-stop until the stock gets sold automatically or exit your position at the close.
