AAPL has been one of the strongest stocks of the recent rally and I have no reason to think they won’t report great earnings next Tuesday. How high will it go? That’s really the question, and I’ve got a spread that works well for bulls and bears alike.
SPX saw a significant drop on Friday and may have triggered the beginnings of a deeper correction. There are stocks that I am going to continue to buy, but there are some important market nuances you want to be aware of as we get into February expiration.
The signs from a strong Yen to trading below the HPMR resistance and the VWAPs were there… know the signs, get your directional focus, and days like today are a gift.
The daytrade shorts were great but they also set up pullbacks in the RTY, XLY, XLF, and more. We always want to be opportunistic and today was a great day for bonds and gold trend followers.
Give yourself two hours and the opportunities you can find and capitalize on as a daytrader will be the best consistently of the day. Ultimately it is about patience and a few key entries, not rapid fire entries and exits.
The Daily and Weekly Charts are starting to show some bullish signs, so I discuss the possibility of a bullish trade if the signals print into the close this week.
Today I am taking a look at CASY and ROST for potential bullish trade ideas. Both are holding support and attempting to print Bullish Divergent Bars on a Weekly Chart. I discuss a few different bullish trade ideas if these signals remain valid into the close tomorrow.
Moving targets. We want to be disciplined and process driven so contraction and expansion in volatility is something I account for using Hourly Price Movement Ranges or Volatility Analysis. It’s a unique approach I created using data that allows for a trader to understand historical volatility hour by hour or day by day. In today’s daytrades, these levels played a key role for profit taking.
