Down to Half an X Now; Chess Moves
I sold another piece of my X long here at $27.21 from my $25.40 entry to scale more gains into this strength as the stock becomes short-term overbought. I am raising my stop-loss to my entry price now, and have roughly 1/2 of the original position size. I am also still short XLU, utilities, and down roughly 1% on the position as the utes...

Standing Up to Tough Conditions from Above
When we looked at crude oil becoming overbought in an ongoing bear market (as defined by a declining 200-day moving average above price on the USO ETF), the issue then became whether crude would act in such as a way which portends another leg down, or instead would stand up to normally-ripe conditions to short for another thrust higher. After...

Scaling a Hot Position; Chess Moves
With my letter X long hitting up through its upper daily chart Bollinger Band (meaning short-term overbought) just now, seen below, I am selling about 1/3 of my position here at $26.88 from my $25.40 entry yesterday to scale gains. My stop-loss is still below $24. X and the steel names are benefitting from the rotation into energy and...

Let's See if We Get the Hat Trick
With BLUE and JUNO both sprinting higher this morning, the only thing missing now to complete our "hat trick" of a triple breakout from our big three biotechs on watch would be to see ESPR sustain a move higher. Indeed, with many biotech and energy/materials stocks squeezing this morning, not to mention beaten-down names like YELP we have been...

A Key to Deep Sea Diving in the Commodities Ocean
With promising action in energy, steels, even coals, and many other materials names today, save precious miners, the U.S. Dollar is still likely to be a key piece of the puzzle as to whether the commodities and materials' rally has legs from current levels. On the updated UUP, ETF for the Dollar, daily chart, below, note how the greenback came...

Analyzing the Basic Box
The chart for Basic Energy Services is one we have observed periodically. And it may very well be worth a closer look here not only on its own merits, but perhaps as a means to extrapolate the technical setup to the rest of the energy sector. On the updated daily chart, below, note that price is threatening to break up and out of the rectangle...

Still Have Bibimbap on My Mind
If the steels can sustain today's rally, I am still looking at premier Asian steelmaker POSCO (PKX) as a bottom-fishing long idea. Charlie Munger once called POSCO the best run steel firm in the world. And with the share rally in China markets of late it is hard not to at least take a look at this one. On the daily chart, below, you can see...

Going to Need to Fight Hard for These Levels
In addition to the $62 level on biotechnology stock JUNO as being the upside trigger to clear, ESPR is needing to leave $105 in the dust. On the updated daily chart, below, note the narrowing formation in an uptrend. Still, patience is important in waiting for another setup--Just note how playing JUNO with precision has been key in recent...

Going Long Steel; Chess Moves
I went long X at $25.40 with a protective stop-loss below $24. Steel stocks are acting well this morning, and X looks ripe to squeeze the many shorts in the float. More on the steels in a bit.
