U.S. Stock Returns After Declining 10% or More.

The key here is the return of the market, the S&P 500, not a random individual common stock.

Time is your friend.


Here’s what I’m watching in the short term that could spark a bounce.

• Breadth > 5-day ma. ❌ We are close but not quite there.

• 30-min chart, moving averages flattening out, price above. ❌

• A spike in one-month lows. ✔

• Lower low in SPY-COMPQ with fewer 1-month lows.✅

• Capitulation‼❓ Sentiment is pretty washed out, but very little signs of panic.

• Oversold via T2106, T2108 ❌. Close but no cigar.

$SPY 10-day ATR below its 5-day moving average ❌
