Corey’s Feb 9 Chaotic Market Update and Stock Scan of the Day

Bycjrosen

Up, back down, up, back to a new low, and now off to a new high – that’s today’s session in a nutshell.

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

Our 1,835 SP500 target was achieved yesterday and price rallied up into the close on positive clear divergences.

However, we were welcomed with a sharp down-gap BACK to our 1,835 support target and a sudden boost up away from it again.

More swings too price back down toward, then up away from, and finally back toward 1,835 on a huge positive divergence.

Like yesterday – almost exactly at the same time – we have our big end-of-day rally up through to new highs.

  1. This is why Forex is called unpredictable, we can never predict what is going to happen next, so we should always be ready to handle any situation and that’s the only way to succeed.
