Hi Shoppers,

 

Holy Shitake!!

 

That’s what Andrew would say.

 

But seriously, what a move.

 

The S&P 500 (Ticker: SPX) was up over 2%, Invesco QQQ Trust (Ticker: QQQ) up almost 3% (thanks NVDA +16%), and the iShares Russell 2000 (Ticker: IWM), not feeling the love so much, was up less than 1%.

 

So where do we go from here, you ask?

 

The SPX chart is very bullish:

After that two and half day pullback, SPX opened right on my pitchfork resistance line which is now new support.

 

According to my pitchfork, $5250-$5275 is in our future.

 

It may not happen next week but it will happen.

 

On to my trade idea on how to play this rally.

 

After such a rally, I think we are going to get some follow through today.


To participate, I like the Mini S&P 500 Mini-SPX (Ticker: XSP) calls expiring tomorrow:

The 509 calls under a buck are nice purchase.

 

Watch your five minute chart and do not enter if XSP is trading below $507.50.

 

Trade Review


Apple (Ticker: AAPL) is up $3.50 since Wednesday. Next resistance comes in at $186.34.

 

Thanks for Reading … See You Next Tuesday,

Licia Leslie
