Commodity related stocks are rallying this week after a significant blood letting for all those who hold long positions in the area. After crude oil broke its 1-year trendline, and Natural Gas tested the bottom of the range, all of the ratios have significantly improved this week. Using some of the same charts I used on Monday's get ready article, we can see a significant improvement already.
Here is the USO chart.
Even stocks like First Solar are bouncing above long, make that very long, down trends.
Companies like Apache have nice positive divergence right here. APA is very close to breaking all sorts of trend lines on every indicator. Interesting to watch.
Tellerium (TELL) is the top of the heap on the SCTR ranking. Great chart!
The entire exploration and production group is really starting to rally. The SCTR's have improved significantly.
Here is a screen shot of the top of the SCTR rankings. For non-members, you can sign up for a free one-month free trial to see the whole list. Free one month Trial of Stockcharts.com Looks like a great time to do some very profitable research on the list.
