Good Thursday morning!
We saw massive selling in the markets yesterday, especially in large cap tech stocks. and as I mentioned previously, the price action was signaling lower and well that's what we got in a big way. As most of us know, this pullback is long overdue, but we are now off to a good start. Caution however....Because of the large drop the last few days, we could be in for a short covering, or buy the dip rally, but as I have talked about several times in this newsletter, let's see just how strong the bounce is going to be! The strength, or lack thereof, is a big clue and that is what I pointed out yesterday morning.....
"This is an important clue as to the strength (or weakness) of any market and the fact that the "beach ball market" could bounce back up and not take it higher.... AND stay there.... is a big tell in our opinion More downside coming!"
Well today we will be using the same playbook as yesterday. How strong will the bounce be..if we even get one at all?!?! Overnight lows took out yesterday's lows however we are well off those levels. This is a reversal signal. Use yesterdays low as a line in the sand so long above 5462 or short below. I am talking about S&P futures.../ES..but you can use the same method in whatever you are trading. /NQ, /RTY, or the stock of your choice! If the tempo and momentum increase then look for the next target @ 5490 which is the overnight high and single prints, then 5505.50 which is the POC (Point of Control).
This morning futures are mixed so expect big intraday volatility either way. As I mentioned I feel we could be in for some short covering but I don't have a crystal ball so I will use the key levels and targets below!
VPOC Update: TWO VPOC's taken out below and yes another was added above @ 5611.25. These are signs for bearish (selling) price action.
