Pullback Market Update and Big Trending Stock Scan May 11

The “bullish reversal play” was successful and price traded down again its short-term target today.

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

As we saw from this morning’s post and the prior planning in the membership, price successfully rallied up away from the 2,040 pivot (on massive positive divergences) toward upper targets.

Yesterday price traded into the 2,080 (2,077 in the @ES Futures) on negative divergence (see chart above) and we’re now seeing the short-term pullback (retracement) as expected and planned.

We’re watching the 2,070 level and noting any reversal or continued breakdown at this pivot target level.

  1. Trading on such pullback can be absolutely awesome, but we need to make sure we spot it correctly or else we can find it very risky to manage. I work with OctaFX broker and with them, I never have to worry too much since I always have safety and that’s to do with the gigantic rebate program that they have got which helps in earning 15 dollars profits per lot size over rebate and it makes me extremely comfortable and relaxed with the proceedings.
