On Wednesday, MU closed at 1065.11, then reported earnings after the close of EPS $33.42 beats $31.45 estimate, Sales $54.229B beat $50.751B estimate. Today, Thursday morning, after a lower open of $1054.08, MU fell to a low of 1022.90 within the first hour before a reversal that led to a close of 1097.39.  Why a huge MU beat and initially a lower price you ask?

We teach iBullyBear members that “the stock market is efficient for liquidity, not for value or price.  It is the imbalances in supply and demand that cause prices to fall or rise, not fair value or fair price.”

Did you take advantage of that inefficient price this morning?  We did and it paid off big.


SPX +14.91, 7,666 opened higher, sold off, reversed, rallied, formed a long lower shadow before closing higher. Breadth improved as advancers led the NYSE and decliners led by less than 100 issues on the NASDAQ exchange.  The NDX moved closer to a resistance breakout.  The SPX since August 4 is in a sideways consolidation pattern.

RUT 2,806 rose +9.76, a three-month low bounce, piercing line candle.
Oil /CL rose +2.57 and closed at 92.91.  

SPX advancers: ACN SNPS FICO COHR CIEN LITE MPC CDNS CDW VLO MCK.
SPX decliners: PSKY MKC DHR INCY DIS AMGN TMO A KMB WAT APP.

SPY +1.36, +0.18%, above average volume of 47.7 million shares, range day. 
VIX +0.05, 16.39 rose slightly.
NDX +0.31% a bull flag bounce above the high of the low day, price closed just below its June high, also a setup for a HBO to an all-time high.
DJI, 50,926 +0.04%, a black hammer candle.

Up: IWM, QQQ, SPY, DIA,
Down:  


Mega caps MU, NVDA, TSM, AMD, BRK/B, META rose, and MSFT, TSLA, AMZN, LLY, AAPL, GOOGL, AVGO fell on Thursday. 


SPCX closed at 148.07, -2.79, volume of 68.9 million shares. Our view is that SPCX, with no earnings, remains an overvalued speculation.  IPO at 135 on June 12.  In the end if buyers are greater than sellers the stock will rise.  People seem to be willing to speculate on this company’s long-term fundamental future. 

The SPY MFC green line is flat at 57.6, price-action on Thursday is a bullish harami intraday bounce, potential bull flag setup and is counter-trend defensive. -0.7

Five of eleven sectors were higher on Thursday.  XLK +1.05%.
