Sell Swing Market Update and Stock Scan Feb 2

Bycjrosen

Stocks fell sharply from a key overhead resistance target – with divergences – to produce today’s Trend Day Down.

Let’s update our levels for the S&P 500 Index and note the big trending stocks today:

For members last night and on the TradeStation Morning Market Briefing, I highlighted the 1,945 level as the key pivot point (target) for price to play toward (successfully) and now “away from” (successfully).

The result so far has been a T3 Trend Day to the downside as price impulsively moved lower toward our 1,900 target.

Michael Kors (KORS), Dow Chemical (DOW), Dupont (DD), and Mattel (MAT)
