ST Model 02/11 L breakeven *Stopped out long position on 02/15 flat. I think I need to update the model to avoid this kind of cases happening again and again.
Short-term N/A N/A Trend is UP. I hold long position overnight, slightly underwater.
My Thoughts I’m almost convinced that this could be a primary 3 of 3 up to much much higher.

SHORT-TERM: COULD SEE REBOUND TOMORROW

All I wanted to say are already in today’s After Bell Quick Summary, since the price overlaps so it doesn’t look like a big correction has started. And according to the Presidents day seasonality chart below below, tomorrow could most likely close in green, plus for 5 consecutive gap down days, bears still couldn’t push bulls down the hill, so chances are better and better that bulls may counter-strike. All in all, my guess is at least yesterday’s high will be retested tomorrow.

On a little bit longer than tomorrow, I’ll temporarily maintain the forecast for calling the week the key week as mentioned in 02/11 Market Recap. The chart below, according to Schaeffer, says that hedge fund bought lots of index put therefore is in accumulation mode, so it’s bullish. But personally, I think the red line has reached a level that cannot be sustained, so although it does mean bullish for now but it also implies that the rally could already be in its final stage. Of course, I’m not sure if this final stage means this week. Trading wise, it doesn’t matter to me though, as whenever the short-term model begins to happily hold short position overnight (pay attention to “happily”, it’s not when I say “Hold trapped short position overnight”), it’s most likely the time the real pullback has started because the model simply follows the market (therefore couldn’t be too wrong).
