LVS Watch

Las Vegas Sands Corp. (LVS) has moved back to its swing high, reversing a two-day decline with bear signals. The bear signals have reversed on a one-day whipsaw, and the price is trading more than 4% above Thursday's close.

LVS $37.39

News reports attributed the rise to a positive revenue report from the Vegas strip.

In my analysis posted on Thursday, I wrote that one- and two-day reversals were "in the realm of normal behavior for LVS. ... I own this stock and am not selling yet."

So, as a trader already holding a bull position, I have no decisions to make. For traders looking for an entry point, a close above $37.50 would be a reasonable confirmation that the uptrend really had got its groove back.

Earnings on Oct. 28 after the close. That's 20 days out, plenty of time for analyst and news surprises.
