Surprisingly, my low ball offer of the day triggered near the close. I guess it makes sense given the rush of selling. Again, I strongly prefer at this stage of the oversold period to buy additional positions when the VIX is surging to new heights.<\/p>\n<p>The second trade was on shares of ProShares Short VIX Short-Term Futures (SVXY). The plunge into the close looked so much like panic that I could not resist buying back into SVXY for the next short-term swing. This is even more speculative than usual given the VIX did not print a new high.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the third trade was a two-for-one on solar stocks Canadian Solar (CSIQ) and First Solar (FSLR). I included CSIQ in my shopping list of stocks <a href=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/2015\/08\/22\/t2108-update-150821\/\" target=\"_blank\">on the first oversold day<\/a> because I concluded the stock was &#8220;ridiculously&#8221; oversold. I took a risk and bought as CSIQ faded to close the opening gap up (I wish I had CSIQ on the list for Monday&#8217;s plunge!). I set a tight limit order to sell at $18 since I am already holding call options. Fortunately, the stock proceeded to rally straight up and took out my price target in short order. After CSIQ, I took a look at FSLR and decided to jump back into my favorite solar stock with call options.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, both CSIQ and FSLR hit walls later in the day along with the market and ended up closing at their lows. FSLR was turned back from resistance at its 50DMA. CSIQ has a chart commonly seen in the market right now: a gap down and a rally on Monday; a gap up and a fade on Tuesday &#8211; almost a &#8220;sloppy&#8221; abandoned baby bottom except the upside showed too little conviction. The battle between bears and bulls, sellers and buyers is just getting warm.<\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_30235\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30235\" style=\"width: 540px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/150825_CSIQ.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/150825_CSIQ.png\" alt=\"Canadian Solar (CSIQ) is struggling like so many stocks to pick itself up and out of deeply oversold conditions in what ALMOST looks like an abandoned baby bottom.\" width=\"550\" height=\"375\" class=\"size-full wp-image-30235\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/150825_CSIQ.png 550w, https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/150825_CSIQ-300x205.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-30235\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Canadian Solar (CSIQ) is struggling like so many stocks to pick itself up and out of deeply oversold conditions in what ALMOST looks like an abandoned baby bottom.<\/figcaption><\/figure><br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n<p>Here is what a proper abandoned baby bottom looks like (from <a href=\"http:\/\/candlecharts.com\/candlestick-patterns\/abandoned-baby-bottom-pattern\/\" target=\"_blank\">Steve Nison&#8217;s Candlecharts.com<\/a>):<\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/150825_Abandoned-Baby-Bottom.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/150825_Abandoned-Baby-Bottom.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"120\" height=\"143\" class=\"size-full wp-image-30236\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/candlecharts.com\/candlestick-patterns\/abandoned-baby-bottom-pattern\/\" target=\"_blank\">Candlecharts.com<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Nison: &#8220;A very rare Japanese candlestick top or bottom reversal signal.
