New Highs are entirely relative to your timeframe and how much heat you are willing to take immediately after. It ain't always sunshine and rainbows when something hits "BLUE SKY TERRITORY." Take a look at the Semiconductor ETF chart below ($SMH), and you can see that new highs in the sector have led to short-term pain instead of an all-clear signal that all is well.

The Market started this week somewhat strong, on Monday, the indices we up +.50% or more across the board. The only issue was that breadth was weak, a lot weaker than it should've been for a +.50% day. We ended the day with 150 stocks down -4% or more vs. 78 that closed up +4% or more; these are not the type of numbers you want to see when the market is up +.50%.   On Tuesday, we started on a positive note, but that quickly changed when the Manufacturing numbers came out at 10:00 am; they were weak, according [...]

Not one person on financial twitter did not know that last week historically has been the weakest week for last 30 years.

Currently, there are 17 stocks in Investors Business Daily's Near Pivot scan. IBD defines near pivot as a stock that is forming a base with an intraday high 0% to 5% below their pivot price. I like to track this list because I believe that a lot of the names are actionable before they reach their "pivot" level. $NGVT is one that I believe is actionable for a swing trade if it can get thru today's high of 110.66 with a sell stop at 109.70.
