BMO – ES +23.75 and NQ +37.50 futures are higher in pre-market trading pointing to a higher above the 1,075 resistance and near 1,089 resistance. In pre-market trading AAPL is +5.50, AMZN +2.29, GOOG +9.78, BIDU +2.55, INTC is up 46 cents, BAC is up 41 cents and GS +2.45.
Most stocks are higher this morning on light volume in early pre-market trading on a support bounce continuation. If you have not been willing to believe the MACD bullish divergence get yourself objective and trade the charts signals and not your thoughts.
Part Deaux: Just a follow up comment from Wednesday night's post is I have heard several sources talking about a large head and shoulders on the chart with the recent April high being the head and some point a few days to a few weeks in the future being a right shoulder. None of those sources mentioned the MACD divergence, hammer, inverted hammer or 1,044 support level. I always suspect a forecaster that can see the future technical formation so well but can't see the current technical formations at all. Oh have I mentioned Dave' Insight? Trade the Market not your thoughts.
I'm not sure if it is more lonely seeing a MACD divergence or being a Maytag repairman?
Will they sell breaking 1,044 or see this as a buying opportunity? Apparently US trades saw the open around 1,044 on Tuesday as a buying opportunity, did you? Even though the markets sold off late Wednesday they sold off to a higher low are have rebounded over night. Are buyers coming in or are sellers making this market bounce?
Keep in mind that the intermediate term trend is neutral. What do neutral trends do at support?
If you have been trading with the short term trend you are already on trading to the downside, it is now time to make sure you are exiting these trades when the charts and your rules tell you to. Trade with the short term trend reversal and continue to move your stops.
Continue to Follow Your Rules.

I entered a bunch of bullish positions yesterday when the market and many stocks were trading above the hammer. It fell back but I am still in. Stops a little loose to account for the volatility. Hope the move this morning holds.
The last couple of days, I heard a lot of voices with bearish tones and only one voice with bullish tones. Seems like a good time to be contrarian with lots of bearish tones and potential reversal signals.

I noticed on Tuesday evening that the S&P had formed a White Hammer with a long tailed lower shadow. Hmmm! Looks like Feb 5th when that candle was the bottom of that downturn and bullish Intermediate trend started. HMMMMM! But...talking heads are bearish! Hmmm! Then I thought..Trade the Market not your thoughts!! And so I did! Made bullish trades.
Thank you Dave!!

Dave,
The Maytage Repairman is lonelier . . . he doesn't have us! Have a great day.
Brian
Yes, I agree with Brian. The Maytag man must be definitely lonelier. DANG IT DAVE! The market just closed up with SPX up 35. Is it just me, or every Thurs. when my trading partner and I get ready to listen to your AI chat, it seems like the market once again played into your hands?......Don't think we all don't know about that special button you keep stashed under your desk that is a direct line to the S & P market. Whenever you write a wonderful blog like the last few days..we know that you then get that button out and push it making the stock market go up.. JUST so you can have cool things to say at your Thurs. night AI class. We're on to you now. (PS. do you know where I could get one of those buttons for personal use?) Anyway...You are making a HUGE difference in so many of our lives by teaching us to "Trade the Charts" All the more reason as Brian and I concur that Mr. Maytag man is definitely the lonelier one is this case.
Wow, Dave! I couldn't stop listening to the "chatter in my head" yesterday. So, since your IF Capstone this a.m. I just "overlayed your voice" above my brain-chatter & as a result, tonight I'm in positions 1-day earlier than ever & very happy about my decision; ...progress!
Thank You, again!

Don, Bruce, Brian, Scott and Scott,
Congratulations on the objectively right trades at the right time notwithstanding the bearish talking heads.
