Market technician and founder of Eagle Bay Capital, JC Parets, tracks the movement and performance of the stocks in the Dow 30, looking into the companies every week.
Recently, Parets commented on Travelers Companies Inc TRV, a stock that his firm has liked "for a long, long time" – according to a recent report.
Weekly Chart
Structurally, the company continues to impress Eagle Bay, as the stock continues to make higher lows and higher highs. The firm suggested that "longs use late July lows as a stop," although tactically they recommended moving them up in November 2014 (see daily chart below).
Daily Chart
Short term, in the fall, the analysts said it looked like a breakout was coming soon. Sure enough, in October the stock had "continued to bump up against this resistance from the downtrend from earlier this [2014] summer."
"With momentum in a bullish range and a structurally bullish picture, this looked great and we've wanted to be a buyer of any weakness," Parets explained. Their tactical target was hit in January, just over $108 (261.8 percent Fibonacci extension from the summer's range).
Parets thus arrives to the conclusion that Travelers Companies is a great trade. "At this point I would be a buyer on a breakout above this consolidation over the past few week defined by this downtrend line from the late April highs. Below the April lows and no reason to be long. Target is back to 108," he explained.
