Market environment
The bullish vs. bearish setup is 50 to 257 from the screenshot of my stock screener below.
The risk-off mode started on the failure bar on 1 Aug 2024 as discussed in the video above quickly changed the market environment. This is further confirmed by the big gap down in the market breadth, which we did not experience this year.
Three stocks buck the trend
8 actionable setups MELI, RKT, GDDY were discussed during the live session before the market open (BMO).
Despite having a handful of the setups, my preference is to wait until the volatility settles down because trading in this elevated volatility environment is likely to get whipsawed.
I am holding cash and waiting for the born of the next batch of market leaders. No rush to jump in to trade the technical rally.
MELI
RKT
GDDY
