3/18 Bear Watchlist

The AOD high-yield fund, American Express, BP once known as British Petroleum, Prudential and the exchange-traded fund (etf) tracking materials rose through their stop/loss levels and returned to neutral phase.

Bank of New York Mellon, Cree, Rio Tinto, State Street and Xerox have divergence between their longer-term price-channel phase and the more volatile parabolic sar. Under my trading rules, I would close open positions in my accounts.

The etf tracking the U.S. dollar against a basket of other currencies returned to agreement between the price-channel and the parabolic sar. Under my trading rules, I would re-open positions in my accounts.

Marvell Technology and the etf tracking uranium showed their trends strengthen into the 30s as measured by the average directional index (adx).

Bear Positions
AOD, AXP, BP, PRU, XLB hit stop/loss and return to neutral phase.
BK, CREE, RIO, STT, XRX show divergence between the price-channel phase and the parabolic sar.
UUP returns to agreement between the price-channel phase and parabolic sar.
