3/15 Bear Watchlist

Nine new breakouts: The Australian dollar/yen currency pair, the uranium producer Comeco, DryShips, the Mexico stock market exchange-traded fund (etf), the Japan stock market etf, the technology etf, the high-dividend fund AOD, International Paper and SanDisk.

An existing bear phase, the Vietnam stock market etf, was also added.

The Pound/Swiss franc currency pair, International Paper, Arcelor Mittal and the building materials etf dropped off the list. (International Paper and Arcelor Mittal immediately broke out again today.)

The U.S./Canadian dollars currency pair diverged from the price-channel phase, turning near-term bullish.

Ford, the New Zealand/U.S. dollar and dollar/Swiss franc currency pairs, and Wal-Mart saw their near-term trend again align with their bearish price-channel phases.

The trend on Teva Pharmaceutical industries strengthened into the 30s, and on Bed Bath & Beyond, Arcelor Mittal and Rio Tinto into the 20s.
