Cuts like a knife
I am not giving up on December, and this variant news just needs a little more time before its edge is duller. Not all corners of the market are going to be cut equally in this environment of quicker taper and a growing variant concern… one would be tough but both is far trickier. The playbook for this could be as simple as leaning on relative outperforming indices and sectors and that is what we discuss in this update.
Trading the FAANGMAN Stocks
MSFT, AAPL, NFLX and GOOGL are set up to lead us into and end of year Santa Rally. Here are the key levels to trade.
Wednesday Chop to Friday Surge
The market has still a lot to digest from not-so-transitory inflation to the current variant, but all-in-all stocks were resilient and Tuesday followed the intraday tendency. So following that week-to-week intraday pattern, here’s what in store for the rest of the week.

It’s a usual practice to wait for the Sunday open and the Monday bell to see how a sell-off especially into the close is reacted to.

The S&P 500 (ES) saw a reversion to the mean on Wednesday, and we plan to keep rolling through the rest of the week. While we don’t have many actionable setups for this week in particular, I want to discuss what we can expect for the next two weeks as the market is setting up for a nice move to end the year.
The trigger for more upside
Follow-through in any market relies on structure then pattern and here’s what is setting up for the indices as November is winding down.
