Bear Squeeze Remains in the Offing as Stocks Bounce

Nothing meaningful changed in the headlines to justify this bounce, but after a certain amount of selling, we always run out of sellers. This time, it took eight days to exhaust the supply of near-term sellers.

If the index retreats on Tuesday, I will pull the plug for a small loss and try again next time. If the rebound keeps going, I will add more and lift my initial stops to near my entry points, greatly reducing my risk. If the index retreats today, I get out near breakeven. If the rebound continues, I will let those profits keep rolling in. These low-risk/high-reward trades are what I dream of.

Maybe this week’s bounce is nothing more than a false bottom on our way lower, but as a nimble swing trader, I’m okay with that. I plan on collecting profits long before the next down wave hits.
