Market Action

We’re at a very interesting spot here. New market rally low on the indexes but many individual names have decoupled a bit and are potentially setting up. I included below my priority list of around ~50 names.

The indexes are still in downtrends and choppy but stocks are improving. Today’s low needs to hold as we start a new rally count. The best scenario would be strong follow through higher.

If you have been sitting out for the most part don’t disengage too much. Do your homework.
