Watchlist Performance
CF Industries (CF) manufacturers nitrogen and urea fertilizers, leading the group and its competitors. Earnings surged (1120%) compared to the previous quarter and (253%) for the year.
Traders and investors helped push the stock above its 50d in the third week of September. Volume was significantly higher as CF broke out in the following weeks, rising along its bullish 9/21d moving averages. Institutions were actively accumulating shares.
Price action consolidated gains for the past three weeks, followed by a surge in volume, as the stock breaks out of a bullish descending channel. This points to the presence of institutions at work accumulating shares.
RSI is above 50 and rising. MACD is about to cross, while stochastic rallies off oversold conditions. Bullish follow through is likely.
