Large Caps on Turnaround Tuesday Look the Same

I am noticing today that stocks in totally different industries are exhibiting the same pattern on a daily chart. All very bullish candlestick formation (long white candle with hardly any wick), outperforming the general market.

Here are the 6-month daily charts for (from the top):

Las Vegas Sand (LVS)
Nucor (NUE)
Google (GOOG)
Freeport-McMoran (FCX)
J.P.Morgan Chase (JPM)



Don't know what to make of them at this point, other than my guess that algo-bots are simply working the ETFs and index futures so the heavily traded large caps all move the same way regardless of industry or fundamentals.

But even with today's move, these stocks, with the exception of LVS, are either still below 50-DMA or barely touching, or crossing 50-DMA but 200-DMA is still far away. It will take a lot more consolidation to repair the damage.

I personally like LVS (not on the 6-month chart but on the longer charts like 3-year). It was a steal at $1.30 or so in early 2009. It could go up the thin vertical wall that was October 2008 and reach $30. I just don't know when or how. (Casinos in Singapore and Macau, maybe.)

"Turnaround Tuesday" delivered a turnaround. Let's see if they (bots and bots operators) intend to hold it. The Fed chairman Ben S. Bernanke will be testifying in the Congress on Wednesday and Thursday. It could affect the stock market.
