Bullish Compression in Consumer Staples

The Complete Trader, which we have featured in previous Dailys, is one of my favorite go-tos for trading ideas.

The columns help determine the trade setup. For example, an “Inside Day” that is also in a bullish stock phase. Also a narrow range that shows a narrower trading range than the prior four days’ ranges.

I like to use it based on market conditions. So, I will look at bullish compression, for example, if the overall market is holding support. And I also like to look at sectors that are setting up if those sectors are in alignment with the market and any new economic data.

Today, CPI came in basically as expected. With my bias towards consumers buying more of what they need, I like the area of consumer staples.

The first 3 of 4 picks are consumer staple companies: Conagra Brands (CAG), Pepsico Inc (PEP) and Proctor & Gamble (PG). These featured stocks are for educational purposes only and not buy recommendations. Trading involves risk, and we use specific risk parameters with profit targets for every trade we make.

CAG, at the time of writing, has a second inside day potential. That means investors have paused, which makes sense given the heavy data week. We like to watch range breaks after multiple inside days.

The price is above the 50- and 200-day moving averages. The Real Motion indicator is in line with price, so there is no divergence. The risk, if you like moving averages as lines in the sand, is clear.

PEP had a golden cross of the 50- and 200-DMAs at the start of April. The price might be a bit extended as we look at distance from major moving averages to ascertain if we like the risk/reward.

Real Motion has had a mean reversion right at the top prints of 185. Nonetheless, the price action is worth watching.

PG recently had a golden cross. Like PEP, real motion indicates a mean reversion. Both PEP and PG would be more attractive to us if the price drops closer to the moving averages to control risk.

Nonetheless, 3 takeaways:

Price Compression in good phasesMomentum and distance from MAsStrong Sector-seeing the best Risk/Reward
