3 Big Stock Charts for Friday: Wynn Resorts...
By: InvestorPlace | December 27, 2019

• Friday's big stock charts highlight three names looking to join the market's breakout

U.S. stocks are not slowing down as 2020 nears. All three broad market indices once again reached new highs on Thursday. The S&P 500 has gained more than 29% so far this year. The NASDAQ Composite cleared 9,000 for the first time on Thursday.

With the geopolitical situation calm and impeachment apparently stalled out, there’s seemingly little resistance ahead at the moment. That’s not the case, however, for Friday’s big stock charts.

In fact, resistance is the theme of these big stock charts. One of these names already has faltered and is trying to rebound. The other two are looking to re-take past highs. But the common thread is that all three of these stocks are looking for a breakout in the midst of a broad market that continues to rise.

When we called out Wynn Resorts (NASDAQ:WYNN) in 3 Big Stock Charts at the beginning of November, the stock looked set to stall out. That turned out to be the case, as shares sputtered for several weeks. But two pieces of positive news have changed the outlook — and the WYNN stock chart:

• Wynn shares first jumped on Dec. 12, as China announced plans to make Macau a key financial center. WYNN stock gained 9.5% on that news, as investors saw the news as driving demand for Wynn properties in that Chinese enclave. Six days later, the central government delivered more good news, increasing the daily limit on remittances from the mainland, and WYNN again gapped up.

• On their own, neither of those developments seem to move the needle. But they add to the sense that Chinese leaders see Macau in an increasingly positive light amid protests in Hong Kong. Central government policies have impacted gaming revenue and stocks of casino operators in the region; anti-corruption measures interrupted growth earlier this decade, and WYNN still trades 40% below early 2014 highs.

• The twin jumps allowed WYNN to break out of a usually bearish descending triangle. Moving averages have been easily cleared. And volume has been relatively solid during this rally. The question now is if WYNN can trade clear of $140, which acted as resistance in July. From there, $150 is in the next key level before Wynn stock reaches an 18-month high.

• For market bulls, a bet on a breakout seems wise. The resolution of the trade war, assuming it holds, obviously adds to the bullish sentiment toward the stock. Valuation is reasonable. As long as the external environment holds, WYNN has a real chance to break out. The same is true for rival Las Vegas Sands (NYSE:LVS), an intriguing choice for income investors bullish on the region.
