There's been a nice surge in the Commercial Vehicles group over the past month. One of the leaders in the group is Deere & Co. (DE) which outperformed all of 2017 and consolidated through 2018. This week's price action on Deere looks like the highest weekly close in 9 months - and there are a few other technical clues that suggest there is more to come.
In November 2016, Deere broke out to a new 12-month relative strength highs compared to $SPX. That initial clue started Deere on a run, doubling the stock price. It continued to outperform - the SCTR ranking shows Deere staying above 75 for most of the next 18 months. With the exception of the one down week in mid-summer 2017, it was a straight uptrend for Deere.
The same setups are showing up on the chart again. With the PPO making higher lows and moving back above zero, the stock looks set to run as momentum increases.
Within the Commercial Vehicles group, there are some great-looking charts. Check out Wednesday's Market Buzz below for some of the nice charts within the group - Deere is just one within a great-looking industry group setup.
