Uranium Stocks Rally in Attempt to Break Bearish Trend

By: Merv_Burak

Well, it's a start, now if we can only have a few more days like this, or better, we just might get a rally going. The Merv's Daily Uranium Index was up 0.085 points or 2.21% on the day. There were 29 winners and 16 losers with 5 unchanged. It would be nice to see a few more winners and a few less losers, but we will take what we get. Of the five major stocks, Cameco gained 3.5%, Denison gained 0.5%, Paladin, the only loser of the bunch, lost 0.9%, UEX gained 5.4% and Uranium One gained 1.0%. The best daily performer of the 50 component stocks was Triex Minerals with a gain of 23.4% while the worst performer was Pele Mountain with only a 4.8% loss.

One day does not move the intermediate term indicates. So, they are about where they were yesterday. The Index is still trading below its negatively sloping moving average line, the momentum is still in its negative zone and the volume indicator is still below its trigger line. The rating for the intermediate term remains BEARISH .

The short term is starting to perk up although the one day move has not changed the indicators by much. The momentum indicator did bounce back above its oversold line but remains in its negative zone. The more aggressive Stochastic Oscillator (SO), shown, has turned up and has crossed above its trigger line but has not yet moved above its oversold line. We have a mixed or delayed confirmation between the two momentum indicators. With the Index still below its short term moving average line I cannot yet revert to a bullish rating but with the momentum indicators turning around a full bearish rating at this time is probably too harsh. So, I will go with a – NEUTRAL rating, which is one step above a full bearish rating.
