The INDU confirmed Friday’s hammer in its bull flag and closed at a new 52 week high. Many individual stocks continue stronger than the broad indices. Check out these Charts: (click image to enlarge) NIHD C pattern breakout MICC potential horizontal breakout AAPL potential ascending triangle breakout X post C pattern breakout support bounce Guidance: Stocks rallied on Monday in this holiday shortened Thanksgiving Day week. Trading volume was average or better in many stocks. We expect volume to drop off on Wednesday especially in the afternoon. Friday is a half trading day. The intermediate term is up and the short term trend is still net neutral. We expected traders to be reluctant to short this market, but profit takers clearly decided to sell at the 1,112 level. As we said last week buyers are stepping in at 1,088 area and seller take over at the 1,112 area. That certainly was the case again on Monday. The INDU closed at another 52-week high. Many of the bull flags and hammers and other bullish candles from last week confirmed on Monday and did deliver the strong probability of the market bouncing this week as we indicated in Friday’s post. Continue to focus on and trade setups on the charts of the stocks you watch and follow your rules.
