Market Action
The QQQ closed below yesterday’s low and closed near lows.
IWO also weak on the day
Trends ( Based on QQQ)
Shortest - 5 Day SMA - Down - Below Declining
Short-term - 21 ema - Up - Above Rising
Intermediate term - 50 sma - Up - Above Rising
Longterm - 200 sma - Up - Above Rising
Group/Themes Action
Many stocks on my WLs closed weak today. However on the week made progress. Could be time for sideways chop to absorb some of the moves we’ve had.
Daily Performance charts from the open:
Key Stocks in Deepvue
SMCI we got the reversal today, continue to expect heightened volatility here. Unless a pro day trader/parabolic short trader nothing to do except get out the popcorn.
NVDA is still holding up really well. This is the liquid institutional leader
AMD forming out a mini base here
APP got some follow through
MARA and crypto theme could setup with a few days of sideways. COIN recent EPS gap but sold from highs
FOUR still going sideways
PLTR still forming this range
IOT seeing if it can tighten
TMDX still tight
HOOD nice action from the inside day, especially context considering
CCCC really nice move from that spot popping through the 21
Market Thoughts
Bit of weakness today coinciding with a blowoff in one of the leaders SMCI. Weekly charts look pretty good with many stocks have earnings gaps or strong moves on volume. I’d like to see a week or 2 of sideways setting up pivots.
Reminder:
Risk Management is Paramount
Refuse to enter randomly without managing risk and wait for the spots to develop, they will. Stocks during strong moves always pull back to the 21 ema, 50 sma multiple times. Look for a tight and logical entry point.
Have patience, focus on the best stocks with the greatest potential. These will telegraph the rest of the market.
Take it day by day and manage risk along the way. Be ready for anything
