MU is going to need a few more days to play out. You can see the reverse head and shoulders on the chart. The formation has to complete by breaking the neckline and its not guaranteed, but the h/s is a powerful formation so I have confidence. The cup/handle thesis isnt as strong as I have experienced quite a few times. The problem is the handle after the cup. Its so unpredictable, but the h/s is strong.
The IWM or Russell 2k or RUT, whatever you want to call it, is at a crucial point. Most of Europe has broken through their resistance, but some of the other markets have not especially Asia. So it appears some of the markets are taking different paths.
A breakout on the RUT will make these small cap plays a no brainer. Someone in another thread told me that you cannot make 10% in a month with an ETF.
If you play the UKK you can make that easy! We saw the double bottom on the RUT intraday yesterday and you know it bounced off the mid bollinger on the weekly and the bottom bollinger on the daily. It was a no brainer bounce. So you could have bought the UKK on the bounce yesterday and then held into today for any EASY 3-4% depending on what your entry was yesterday.
The advantage of gaming the UKK etf is that there will be no earnings calls to monitor or some analyst who will come out to downgrade it. Its just you and the Russell2k chart. Thats it. Less headache and long nights thinking what will happen to your stock next.
Then there are the days we game the ultrashort etfs. Anything "ultra" gives you twice the pop or twice the drop of the actual index.
In the future, Im going to take my portfolio down that route and just game the ultra ETFs.
When the RUT turns 900 then we are going to start to look for a breakdown and pull an ultrashort.
I decided to enter JBLU long today, but have a tight stop in place. Lets see where it goes.
