Well, what do you know, more late day fuckery! Don’t you just love trading option expiration week? I warned traders in The PPT, via my video Sunday night, that we could see one hell of a week filled with strength to start the week, but even I, did not anticipate the bulls to take full advantage here.
It is amazing how fast things can turn. Around lunch time I was sure that the bears would grab their nuts and make a stand, the market looked ready to dive– CANCEL ALL ORDERS style. But, suddenly, just after 3pm, just after I added to my $TZA position, the bulls horns came out.
I was impressed with the way $TZA held up considering the run late in the day, but by the closing bell, it was all over– the bulls won. Within the time of my last post, up until the closing bell, the charts all of a sudden turned slightly bullish. Granted we are still trading on very light volume, the bulls did a fine job defending the 200 day today.
I, myself, have had enough of this schizophrenic market and will more than likely take the day off tomorrow, as stocks will be pinned to their strike price. The only thing that scares me is that many will do the same– giving the bulls another free day to run.
Looking at the chart below, the upside seems limited. But, never underestimate the power of the bull.
If you notice, the 50 day magnet is just ahead, which will also coincide with a perfect bearish head and shoulders setup. I will continue to hold my pretty large (as of today) $TZA position, up until the point the head and shoulders pattern fails. If we do rally past the 50 day, voiding the pattern, well then, CANCEL ALL ORDERS!
This shit is chess, it ain’t checkers.
