Comments

As part of Jim Cramer's Mad Money program on Friday night, he continued to outline his game plan for this week.

On Thursday, we'll hear from Accenture (ACN) , Nike (NKE) , and FedEx (FDX) . Cramer said FedEx might not be able to hold its momentum and Nike hinges on growth in China. He was bullish on Accenture, the professional services' company.

Let's now check out the charts of ACN. 

In this daily bar chart of ACN, below, we can see that prices have been stalled for a few weeks. Prices have traded sideways and have slipped below the cresting 50-day moving average line. The On-Balance-Volume (OBV) line shows weakness from early May. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) oscillator is poised to cross above the zero line for a new outright buy signal.
