Guidance:
The SPX broke through the 1,090 resistance and rose to 1,103 the R1 of the Jan 22 large black candle. This is a key short term resistance. If the SPX gets through R1 look for it to rise to the next resistance level of 1,113 to 1,119, which is also the area of the 30 DMA.
The short term trend is up.
The multi-week trend is sideways.
The multi-month trend is up.
The SPX and other broad indexes continued to bounce on Tuesday.
You may have been stopped out today on certain down trending positions on the strength of the SPX and INDU rally.
If 1,103 is broken expect this support bounce to continue but watch for potential bear flags if the two day rally can’t break through short term resistance.
Continue to focus on and trade setups on the charts of the stocks you watch and follow your rules.
Many stocks have shifted to a sideways trend and still offer support bounce trades just not from a higher low.
There are still some up trending stocks. If you have not yet been stopped out of your up trending positions, continue to raise your stops.
