Weekly Commentary
Pessimistic Recession Comments Undercut Positive Economy; Also see New Feature

Despite the economy adding a further 390K jobs in May, and most of the Fed's districts reporting modest growth, the major indexes fell on Friday, led by the NASDAQ with a 2.5% loss leaving the index down 1% for the week. The good news was tempered by recession warnings from J.P Morgan CEO Jamie Dymond, who sees an "economic hurricane" coming, and Elon Musk who has a "super bad feeling" about the economy.

The cup and handle pattern failed to produce significant breakouts this week leaving only the Volatility Squeeze pattern to produce just 2 breakouts gaining over 5%.

Alaska Airlines (ALK)

Alaska Airlines brokeout above its average trading range on Friday on twice its average daily volume after reporting that higher revenues were offsetting fuel increases.  "We continue to experience sustained strong demand for air travel throughout our network," the company said in a filing. Alaska continues "to expect to deliver double-digit pretax margin in the second quarter,"
