Tuesday Recap

Turnaround Tuesday certainly lived up to its name today. After the S&P 500 intraday touched bear market territory, both the Nazz and S&P 500 flew higher late in the day. Volume actually rose smartly to boot. Intraday reversals were too many to mention but two that come to mind is AAPL which ran ahead almost 20 handles as it found 200 day support almost to the penny. GS surged 10 points off its intraday low. Other stocks, primarily retail, that found almost exact 200 day support today were DECK BBBY DSW TSCO WFM COG. XRT rallied 5.5%, taking many in the group higher. Stocks that found exact 50 day support today were VFC COST LTD JWN ED JBL CHD. We mentioned recently the importance of just simplifying your strategies and seeing how stocks would react around their 50/200 day MAs has proved true. A few rare situations are blooming with stocks showing excat buy points in valid bases. CPHD 41.04 in a cup with handle base, and RAI 38.53 in a double bottom with handle base. Interesting to see how some stocks bounced off nice real round numbers. AMZN 200, PCP 140, PX 90 AGU DE 60, RAX NUE 30.
