Weekly Commentary
NASDAQ Gains for the Week but Trend Indicators Still Negative

The NASDAQ gained 1.1% over last Friday's close but the trend is flat and volumes below average. The S&P 500 and DJI were both in the red with losses of 0.6% and 1.8%, respectively. All three indexes made gains on Friday despite a slight uptick in jobless claims on Friday. The mega cap technology stocks led the gains but there was no specifically identified reason why. Traders may have taken upwardly revised durable goods orders for July as an indication the economy is strengthening. And of course, the Fed has promised near zero interest rates for the foreseeable future.

NASDAQ Chart
The Volatility Squeeze pattern again delivered the most breakouts but it was last weeks chart of the week (ZM) which delivered the best return from its High Tight Flag pattern.

Did you know you can use breakoutwatch on your mobile phone? I've been laboring for a few months to improve rendering on phones and its getting quite useful. Give it a try. Instructions are here.
Chart of the Week
For the chart of the week, I again turn to the High Tight Flag pattern and select New Fortress Energy Inc.  (NFE). Since forming the handle the chart shows initial profit taking but a steady rise since then on heavy volume.
