Ross Stores (ROST) Getting Ready to BreakoutAfter running my momentum-screener I happen to come across ROST. The stores operate one of the largets off-price apparel and home fashion chains in the United States, selling name-brand and designer apparel, accessories, footwear, and home fashions to middle income consumers at prices generally 20 to 60 percent lower than regular price. It has very healthy profitability, growth, and financial health numbers; even if you end up not trading it, it's amazing stock to hold for the long haul.
Looking at the chart, my price source is (H+L+C/3) just because I'm looking at the longer series (> 1 yr). As you can tell the it recently finished a cycle (first arrow) and just started a new one (second arrow). And at the end of the week it touched the lower band of the Bollinger Band meaning a upwards reversion is in the horizon All of the momentum indicates that the stock is oversold but this is just the first correction of the new trend. Doing a bit of trend analysis on the Stochastic RSI you can tell it too is heading the "overbought" direction. This feels like the bottom of long upward trend, my recommendation would be to get in while the getting is good. BUY, BUY, BUY!!!

LongI like this stock because there is a huge support line. Again, the stock had a nice resistance line then it broke out. After that breakout , the stock came back at support and bounced. It did that three times and bounced all the time then today the stock did the same thing so im expecting a nice reversal. The stock did a nice candle and finished the day very strong. Yesterday the stock was down , the bears were in control but today it change , the emotions change and now the bulls are in control and that's what you want to see. The stock finished very strong and the sentiments completely change so i think we will see a reversal on the upside.
#ES_F $VIX - $ROST - Daily Chart ROST is above a 1.618 fib ext and R2 on daily / weekly. Lots of gaps below starting at $47.32 -> $41.77. Smart money was unloading this last week and clearly being distributed. Hypothetically, if the market showed weakness, would this stock be a fire sale after a 720% run up? Yes it would. Regardless of market conditions, not much left in the tank here.
$ROST Short the bounce into resistance of a downtrending channelKey points;
1) ROST should no longer be considered uptrending after breaking its primary trend support.
2) A new downtrending channel has emerged after the break of its primary uptrending support line.
3) Price has already rejected the upper bollinger band and has continued to validate the downtrending resistance line of the downtrending channel
4) MACD has begun contracting which indicates that the bullish move upward may have begun losing steam
5) Volume is low and almost half the 20 day average and therefore it is reasonable to fade this up leg
As always DYOR
ROST gaps up on earningsROST could offer a good near-term buy on Fridays' gap up on higher volume. The bar was very bullish - adding to the momentum to the upside - and easily cleared the 2013 pivot high.
For longer-term traders, however, the large gap up could easily be filled - so we would want to see some sort of pullback or retest of the 2013 high before considering this a buy opportunity. And by that time we could well be approaching the psychological resistance of the 100 figure.
Since breaking above the 200dma in August the trend has been very linear so if this continues and price clears $100 then a long-term buy could be in the offering.
One for the watchlist.
