Stock portfolio  in High-Tech industry Technical Analysis - Stock portfolio  in High-Tech industry Trading: 2017-08-14

The US stock markets continue correcting

In this review, we suggest considering the personal composite instrument (PCI) "Technology_Stocks". It reflects the price dynamics of the portfolio from 10 stocks of the world's largest companies and the US high-tech industry traded on the US stock exchanges (NASDAQ, NYSE). The PCI declines when the stocks of the companies it includes fall in price. Is there a possibility for the Technology_Stocks to drop?

The main reason for the overall decline in the US stock market may be the continuing escalation of tension between the US and North Korea, called the "war of words" by market participants. In their opinion, there is still a rather high risk that the parties will move from words to action beginning military operations. An additional negative is the relatively weak quarterly reports of the remaining US companies. In particular, on Thursday, the stocks of Snap (-13%), J.C. Penney (-24.4%) and Nvidia (-8.6%) fell for this reason. The US inflation for July increased slightly, which may have a negative impact on the stock market.

Technology_Stocks

On the daily timeframe, Technology_Stocks: D1 came down from the rising trend. The downward correction is possible in case of the publication of negative economic and corporate information in the US.

The bearish momentum may develop in case Technology_Stocks drops below the last fractal low at 152. This level may serve as an entry point. The initial stop loss may be placed above the 2nd fractal high, the historic high and the Parabolic signal at 158. After opening the pending order, we shall move the stop to the next fractal high following the Bollinger and Parabolic signals. Thus, we are changing the potential profit/loss to the breakeven point. More risk-averse traders may switch to the 4-hour chart after the trade and place there a stop loss moving it in the direction of the trade. If the price meets the stop level at 158 without reaching the order at 152 we recommend cancelling the position: the market sustains internal changes that were not taken into account.
