Short Ideas: $COST $ARES $GOOG $FB

During my last stock market analysis yesterday, I had identified some key indicators that showed this market is most likely headed lower. In order to take advantage of the possible flush back down to the lows, I have been looking for some good short ideas. The markets are currently consolidating and if we make new lows today or tomorrow, that would be a great time to start initiating new shorts.

COST:

Despite the relative strength, COST has been consolidating beautifully and is currently at the low of this consolidation. COST rejected and is now below the 200DMA. Good below 280 with a stop loss at previous lower high.

ARES:

ARES is currently consolidating after an impressive bounce. There is a clear level of support and resistance. ARES will be a good long above 31.70 or short below 29.00. Place stop losses at previous higher low if long and lower high if short.

GOOG:

GOOG has been pretty weak during the previous bounce and rejected the 20DMA. There is a rising wedge forming and GOOG is near the lower bound of this consolidation pattern. Good for a short below 1090 with a stop loss at 1129.

FB:

Same pattern as GOOG, rising wedge on the 30m timeframe. Good for a short below 155 with a stop loss above 161.50.
