Finding Peace in Summer
Today's pullback in stocks comes within the context of a larger sideways move on the major indices dating back a week or two.

Recall back in 2008, for example, how crude super-spiked and then crashed in the back half of the year along with equities, which probably is...

The reason for that is due to the price action of this market, with an increasing number of chart flagging out and basing well in uptrends.

For Every One Skechers...
For every one SKX in this tape, breaking down after earnings on the weekly chart, below, there is a reflection back by bulls who have several names firming up and acting well on a slow summer Friday. Even CMG, for example, a long-term leader turned laggard in 2016, is spiking up after an initial move down after earnings. That type of action...

Give Yourself Some Wiggle Room
The bull case is far from quashed, despite today's selloff potentially galvanizing bears who have been frustrated with the recent rally. However, that need not mean bulls are home free.
