Pre-market trading is being led lower by PCLN, BIDU, GOOG, AAPL, FSLR, AMZN, ISRG, WYNN and JOYG after PCLN released earnings Monday afternoon with revenues and Q2 guidance lower than expected. PCLN is another example of “priced for perfection” followed by less than perfect guidance.
XLF Financials, XLI Industrials and XLV are also leading lower this morning.
Volatility remained above 25 on Monday, so as we guided you Monday morning last week's pull back is not necessarily over. Higher volatility means you should continue to expect bigger and quicker moves both up and down.
After an abnormally strong move up on Monday a correction is not surprising. Use your Fibonacci tool from Friday's close to Monday's high to give you a sense the magnitude of Tuesday's correction. If the correction is less than 50% use the pull back to identify support bounce entry signals.
The best guidance today is to continue to Follow Your Rules.

If you put fibs on Fri. low and Mon. high today's bounce is right on the 1/4 retracement. (I'm sure you saw this) Just wanted to let you know that we are learning. Thanks for all you do . The changes to your web sight are great.
