Can You Say Bearish Engulfing?

BY LICIA LESLIE 

March 10, 2024

Hi Shoppers,

 

The markets made a huge reversal on Friday, being up over $30 to closing down over $30 on the S&P 500 Index (Ticker: SPX).

 

This action created a bearish engulfing candle which may be signaling a change in this uptrend:

Support from here comes in at $5086, which we can easily trade to early this week.


We have the same candlestick pattern in the Invesco QQQ Trust (TIcker: QQQ):

Support below here is at $434.25.


The iShares Russell 2000 Index (Ticker: IWM) also has a bearish engulfing candle pattern:

Support for IWM is at $206 and $200.

 

I think we may hit these support levels early on this week.

 

Trade Review 

 

Tesla (Ticker: TSLA) did trade higher on Friday but also did the reversal along with the market. It held the support at $174. Watch for a close below that there to bail on your longs.

 

Thanks for Reading … See You Next Tuesday,

Licia Leslie
