Today on the Marketbeat: Another Manic Monday

Well as the Futures got to trading Sunday night they looked like the market was going to see a decent pullback, and come 9:30 am they just did that, opening down 10 pts on the S&P ES Futures. The Market did fill this gap lower around 11am and it did so in a slower fashion than as of late. This gives me the idea that these types of moves might just be the "pullbacks" we all are watching for. Keeping in mind that this market of late is a bullish market. When the market drops overnight, the bulls seem to have a certain level that they are defending and push it up after throughout the day.

What can this piece of information tell us? well it could tell us that we need to be aware of the fact that in this market the pullbacks that we are looking to buy might be intraday pullbacks and that we need to really dismiss any kind of opinion we attach to the price action we see, and trade it for what it is. That means if and when a longer deeper pullback occur, then sell into it or take profits off the table at that point, however, if your looking for pullbacks to buy into - watch how the market guards the support levels, if they cant take them out then that just might be the extent of the pullback we see in that day.

Here's some notes

TICKS - Looking for extremes (+/- 1000), Distributions - where are the values being distributed (above or below zero line) / UNH (3yrs chart): bullish ascending triangle - 30 actions point to long side / WYNN on pullback / AKAM at action point watch / QSFT: riding the 20ma, if breaks below 20, could enter a buy zone / CRR: buy on pullback after 3x top breakout / RL: buy on break or pullback

Happy Trading
