This market continues to be very bullish. Every dip to a moving average or a support zone is being bought and the SPY is just under the 2010 high. Let’s be cautious.


The AAPL 220 level proved to be a terrific tell for the market today. The stock dove briefly on the open, that level was bought aggressively and it never even came close to seeing those prices for the rest of the day. It was a great sign that pullbacks to important levels could be bought. Go through your charts and see how many stocks bounced off of a moving average. Keep that AAPL 220 level on your platform for now, it is important.

Existing home sales at 10:00 am is the only real important piece of economic data out tomorrow, but it probably won’t have much of an impact on the broader market. I will be watching the dollar index as a tell for the direction of the market especially the commodities.

I have been having some success buying reversals back up through moving averages and with breakouts as long as the stock is not extended intraday. So I am going to keep trying that until it stops working.

The following ideas maybe actionable tomorrow, just remember that when you are buying pullbacks wait for the level to be broken in a vertical fashion on light volume and then buy going back up through the alert level, never try and catch a falling knife. Use the bottom of that candle as your stop.

  1. Great move in CAT today. Thanks for JBL I was able to grab some on the pullback near 18. Also grab some BCSI on the pullback below 33.00. Missed BG and AAPL.

  2. Great you did well! I got the CAT and the BCSI which were both pretty nice. I was off the desk for the JBL pull back though. AAPL can be a tough character so I passed on him today and used him as a tell for the market. He kept me in a few things. Good luck out there and happy hunting.
