In last Friday’s MMM report, we said the Nasdaq bears could be losing control in the short-term. 

We also said that stocks could enter bounce mode if the major indices hold above Thursday’s closing prices.

Stocks indeed finished Friday’s session with solid gains, thereby confirming the previous day’s bullish reversal pattern.

However, given the vicious sell-off after breaking below major support levels, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq now have an abundance of overhead supply and resistance levels to contend with.

As such, we view the current bounce as an opportunity to look for new, lower-risk entry points for new short setups (and/or buying inverse ETFs).

If the Nasdaq can bounce into the 12,000 area, it will find plenty of resistance from a short-term term downtrend line and the 20-day EMA:

If we spot any ideal short entries in today’s session, we will send a trade alert to Wagner Daily members with our exact trigger and stop prices.

Until the market proves otherwise, we view any bounce as an opportunity to sel short–but only IF low-risk entry points emerge in weak stocks/ETFs.  

As always, remember to trade what you see, not what you think!
