Recaps are a review and commentary on the morning watchlist. Recap comments are in blue.

Good morning.  my notes are primarily long biased for the day. but if market turns into a sell the strength action day, I will  look for short entries — as usual watch discord.

Trying something new for the first time to get advantage of SPY volatility.   Check out the Can we turn $2000 into 50000 Challenge? Please be patient as I’m still working on the page and how to manage this.  It was a spur of the moment idea.

General market thoughts

What a flush into Feb support yesterday followed by a nice bounce.  Lots of eyes looking toward Fed meeting tomorrow.  So we had a few interesting developments into yesterday’s close.

  1. Potential higher low,
  2. More buyback announcements,
  3. Started getting some decent call flow
  4. More upgrades to outperform on companies.

I’m still short biased overall, but I think there is potential for some relief/sharp rally.

Pre-market Notes

Key levels I'm watching for short/long and reactions/volume are 252,254,258,260. Thoughts are if we push and fail 258 and break 254 then much more downside coming with a 243 target, if we dip and hold 254/255 and then rally break over 259/260 we could have a multiday push back into 265-275.

Recap

nice gap up but we stalled under 258. Tuesday was day 6 of selling with lower highs and lows. Had a dentist appoint so missed a nice short for afternoon dump:( 253 is the next big key level now to watch for a drop. Got supported a couple of times yesterday. [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Pre-market Notes

Overall the push in JNJ seems lackluster given CEO on Cramer last night. Going to watch for fails, but if market shows strength and we clear 132, I like for potential long on dips.

Recap

Nice planning / reads overall. We cleared the 132 area and then dumped right to 130 where I alerted as a good long area. Overall 132 didn't have the follow through on the second push over. I'm thinking we may revisit 125 before we see 135 if 129 breaks. [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Basically we based Friday between 7-7.20. Keeping an eye on it, but not sure we get any more big moves, until news/volume.

Pre-market Notes

Not trusting this gap up. looking to get a starter short out of the gate and add on a push and fail.

Recap

A few people nailed this ideaa for 100-300% gains. Congrats! Checkout the initial dump, then the push on 47.50 that failed and then payday! [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Pre-market Notes

Potentially big impact announcement with deal with Novartis. This could bring new money in and cause a squeeze. But remember they have share lockups coming in January so if we get a fast move into 90 or 100 I'd be a seller.

Recap

Monster read!!! I took commons around 70:) Wish I grabbed the 77 calls for $1 [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
