A Pitchfork Rule

By Licia Leslie

March 9, 2025

Hi Shoppers,

 

You know how I love my pitchforks.

 

They are easy and have very few rules.

 

One of the major rules is if the stock doesn’t trade all the way to the furthest support/resistance level then there is an 80% chance the stock will trade to the opposite end of the pitchfork.


If that hammer in the S&P 500 Emini Futures (Ticker: ES1!) pans out and we rally from here we could quite possibly trade all the way back up to the top of the pitchfork:

That would be tremendous!

 

Trade Review

 

Invesco QQQ Trust (Ticker: QQQ) traded within $.75 of my support level!

 

 I called $479.75 and the low was $480.53.

 

QQQ bounced and managed to close above my $484.29 level, too but it was just about a dollar shy of closing above the 200 day moving average.

 

Friday’s candle could become a hammer …

 

Thank You For Reading … See You Next Tuesday,

 

Licia Leslie
