  • 584 stocks were down 4% plus on high volume.
  • That is a minor scratch on the bulls back. 
  • This was mild action and not a very broad based selling. You would have seen numbers around 1000 plus for a serious correction.
  • So the task is cut out for the dip buyers. 
  • Most likely scenario is attempt at rally from these levels.
  • Action in the Episodic Pivots  continue to show junk still has buyers.
  • Sector rotation was in play with medical and health care stocks breaking out. So this market has more legs as of now. 
  • After a few days of attempted rally we might see another shakeout move.
  • A strong breadth like we have currently is not going to turn with just one 584 negative day. 
  • I will continue to focus on EP and good breakouts from IBD100/200 and Double Trouble and Modified Double Trouble.
  • I expect Double Trouble to be best performing method here onwards. It will continue to give  many more opportunities for next 1 to 2 months.
