Is the Nazzy Rally Over Or Just Resting?

July 26, 2020 in Education, Trade Recap

We have a big week ahead for earnings, including a Super Thursday when GOOG, AMZN, and AAPL all report after the close.  After a torrid, painful move last Monday, we were fortunate to spend the rest of the week getting healthy in our core MNQ short position and now continue to trade around it this evening on the futures open.

The ADX is bear-neutral here in the low 400s with the one-week POC and LOTS of overhead supply up near 845.

Working targets at 401 (target literally just hit while writing this post) with adds at 549.

Banking Some Gains in BAC

July 21, 2020 in Education, Trading Strategies

With a whole lotta money out there these days, it’s gotta find a home.

The financials have been laggards on the last leg higher in the S&P, but we found a good recent entry point in BAC at $23 using the Extreme Turn (the “Money Point” indicator among friends).

Signal expressed as Aug 25C for .65 and then spread today when the sell signal printed at 24.42. Holding the rest for gap fill above $25. We’d like to see price hold the 233 EMA (T-Line) through Friday expiration.
