In 2010 we provided many very accurate Weekly Market Reports which featured incredible money making opportunities for free to the public. This year we will continue to isolate the same type of critical support and resistance levels on many of the highly traded stocks and release this expert guidance to the public. Peabody Energy Corporation BTU is one of the leading coal stocks in its industry group. This stock has surged higher since late August when the Federal Reserve Bank announced its second round of U.S. Treasury purchases called quantitative easing. At that time the Peabody Energy stock was trading at $40.80 a share. On the last trading session of the year the stock closed at $63.98. That is a better than 50.0 percent increase for Peabody Energy in just four months. Peabody Energy will have weekly chart resistance around the $66.25, and $70.00 levels. Should the stock pullback before reaching those resistance levels there will be important daily chart support around the $58.00 area. What these levels closely and trade the stock accordingly. IMAX Corporation (USA) IMAX is a leading entertainment technology company that operates theaters worldwide. On December 31, 2010 the stock recently broke out of a one month basing pattern surging above the $33.00 level intra-day.

By the middle of the trading day that rumor was not verified and the stock reversed lower by $5.00 from the intra-day high on massive volume. This now puts in a high volume reversal day on the daily chart which often indicates more of a pullback in the near term for the stock.
