That was a face ripper, right?

 

S&P 500 (Ticker: SPX) gapped open 47 points and never looked back.

 

The high was $4508, up 97 points!


Check out this bottom forming pattern in the Emini Russell 2000 Index:

See that? It is a head shoulders pattern signaling the bottom of the selloff.

 

And it has definitively broken the neckline.


Here it is on the IWM chart:

According to the rule, IWM will rally up to $190.

 

That is the difference between the head (low) and the neckline, add to the neckline.

 

We will have some resistance coming in at the 200 day moving average at $181.29.

 

I am shopping the Dec01 calls:

I like the 179/189 call vertical for $2.60 or less.

 

Use a close below the neckline, $175, for your stop loss.

 

Trade Review

 

As I said above, the S&P 500 Mini Options (Ticker: XSP) trade was a homerun up over 100%.
