The three stocks are all looking a bit noisy on Friday, as the markets continue to fight the overall noise. At this point in time, the market looks positive in general, but not all stocks here are the same. The stock market overall is a messy place at the moment, so please keep this in mind.
Apple initially did try to rally a bit during the trading session on Friday, but it looks like we’re giving back some of those gains and with that being the case, I think you’ve got a situation where traders are going to continue to pay close attention to the 50 day EMA and then the $210 level. Short term pullbacks, probably buying opportunities, but I think we’re more or less consolidating in this stock, as we are trying to sort out the US/China trade war.
Amazon rallied a bit after gapping higher. It does look like it’s stuck here at the $215 level, which is an area that I think will continue to be a pretty significant resistance, with the $200 level underneath being massive support, especially with the 50 day EMA hanging around that area and just recently kicking off the so-called Golden Cross.
Looking over at Netflix, you can see that we did gap a little bit higher, only to turn around and show a little bit of hesitation here. Ultimately, I think you have a situation where traders are looking at this through the prism of a market that might be a little stretched, but clearly you do not want to short this market. You want to find a pullback that you can get involved with in order to find some value in what’s been a monster run to the upside. So, I remain bullish. I believe that the $1,170 level continues to be a major support level.
