The toy business has been in a massive uptrend if you are in the right stocks. It is a fickle business group as they seem to treat the shares aggressively. Buy the good ones quickly, sell the weak ones even faster.
This week, Activision (ATVI) closed above 5-week highs on the strongest positive volume in a year. This stock seems to give one full stochastic signal a year, and it just gave us a signal here. The three year weekly chart is shown.
Electronic Arts (EA) also had a strong week. With huge volume Thursday and above average volume on Friday, some buyers are showing up for work. The MACD has shown some nice positive divergence and the chart looks set up to run as price closed above the down sloping trend line. Friday's close was back above the mid summer 2017 highs after bouncing off the 200 day moving average. The SCTR looks set to run into the top quartile above 75.
Here is the chart for the Toy Industry. Nice push to end the week.
