Dupont Shows Relative Strength
02/14/08 04:13:59 PMby Arthur Hill
After a big reversal in January, Dupont consolidated near resistance and continued relative strength points to a breakout.
Position: Accumulate
| Figure 1 shows weekly prices for some perspective. Dupont (DD) gapped down in July and declined the last six months. The stock hit a new low in January, but immediately reversed to form a long white candlestick on good volume. Despite this high-volume reversal, the stock stalled below resistance, and some follow-through is needed to fully reverse the downtrend. DD remains below the July trendline and below resistance from broken support. |

| Figure 2 show daily prices and focuses on the consolidation that formed over the last few weeks. DD surged to resistance and then stalled. The consolidation represents a rest after the surge. In addition, this consolidation reinforces resistance around 46.5 and a breakout is needed to signal a continuation higher. A break above the February high would be bullish and target further strength toward the next resistance zone (49–50). |

| The bottom indicator window shows Dupont relative to the S&P 500 ETF (SPY). The price relative rises as DD outperforms the market and falls as DD underperforms. The price relative bottomed in mid-December and moved sharply higher the last two months. Note that the indicator did not even weaken when DD declined in mid-January. The price relative went on to break above its November high. This shows relative strength and bodes well for a breakout. |
