What is “buy the dip”?
Pullbacks in uptrends. Think NASDAQ futures, MSFT, Home Depot, among many. We’re also looking at an after-hour rally in crude but there’s a setup that says it won’t last.

When news of the Mexican tariffs hit, CMG took a nosedive with headlines that the cost of avocados would hit CMG. Now we’re a stone’s throw from lifetime highs, and this is a great example of why I prefer to focus on technical setups.
In the last premium video, we reviewed key areas of resistance in AAPL and BA. Both of those have come through well, now we just see how far we can fall. Tonight updates those levels in /ES and thoughts on several other stocks.
The NASDAQ got hit like the rest of the market on a rate cut tantrum… MSFT moved twice its normal price movement range and the NQ pulled back to a key moving average. Here are the setups that triggered and how.
In the semi space, we can see that SMH is running into resistance; however, the shining star is AMD. AMD not only has a backtested history of being a strong buy on the dip, but it also has a history of running into earnings. After the recent pullback, I’m looking at it for a buy.
I’m starting to see signs of cracks in the market, primarily through the low $PCALL and failure of IYT at resistance. I’ve lightened up my positions considerably and have a small hedge on. The key here is knowing levels to get in, when the market does pullback — and setting up for the next setup, the run into earnings.

Both these markets are still in a bearish trend. The current retracements are setting up continuation plays in both.
