The bears failed to press their advantage...

The market rebounded today and demonstrated the underlying strength. The bears once again failed to press the tape down. Now market is in red hot momentum territory. Such phase can be very profitable for short term trading as number of stocks make 10% plus move in a day increase sharply.

The stocks up 50% or more in a month is at 19. That is runaway moves market. One must play the momentum with one hand on exit door, but there is lots of money to be made in such runaway environment. It gets the bears blood boiling, hey but that is the way market operates. Keep buying the dips till it stops working.

Let us look at " What went down and what went up"

What went up
There are 127 stocks up 4% plus on higher volume. The Double Trouble universe had 43 stocks up 4%.

As earnings start trickling in, some of the stocks running in anticipation of earnings are likely to breakdown post earnings. So this red hot momentum going in to earning season, if it continues might set us up for a correction post earnings. I personally would welcome that as I have planned a long vacation ( in August) to coincide with it. Let us see how that plays out.

Pradeep,

Thanks for your very informative blog. Quick question: does 1.25$ IBD newpaper come out Thursdays?

Thanks, Joe

Joe,
IBD is published every day, but Thursday posts the IBD200 list. I found it at Books a Million.

While everyone is focussed on ICE, I think NMX is a very good buy.
