On My Radar Today - Solarwinds, Inc. (NYSE:SWI)

Today, I'm going to be analyzing the stock of SolarWinds (NYSE:SWI).

SolarWinds, Inc. designs, develops, markets, sells, and supports enterprise-class information technology (IT) and infrastructure management software to IT professionals in various organizations worldwide.

The most outstanding chart feature to me is the 10-month long term downtrend line, which has seen a breakout to the upside. This trend line touches three price points, making it a valid and important trend line. The RSI is trending over the midpoint 50 line, indicating a strong trend. Plus, all of the Trade Triangles are green and positive.

Another important key element to this chart is a Fibonacci correction from the low for this stock in July of 2010 at $12.50 (not shown on chart) to the highs that were seen just over the $60 level in March of 2013. The subsequent correction was picked up quickly by the monthly Trade Triangle, which kicked in at $52.06 on April 11, 2013. After almost 10 months of a bear trend, the monthly Trade Triangle reversed course and trend on January 6, 2014 at $39.15. I believe that Solarwinds has completed a major Fibonacci correction around 60% and I am expecting a move back up to around the $50 mark, which would be a nice return on capital.
