The action on December 14, 2015 included a little of both: an overall unconvincing bounce.<\/p>\n<p>The S&#038;P 500 (SPY) managed to eek out a 0.5% gain after trading as low as a 1.0% loss. This qualifies as a very modest oversold bounce. The lows extended well below the lower-Bollinger Band (BB) and formed a great setup for buying into an oversold bounce. At its lows, T2108 dropped as far as 13.4% &#8211; a VERY extended oversold condition. At its highs, the volatility index, the VIX, reached as far as 26.8% &#8211; just below the 2012 intraday high. Put it all together, traders got a very brief buying signal to trade an oversold bounce, especially as the market started pulling out of this funk. The S&#038;P 500 even provided the psychologically important 2000 level as a convenient pivot point.<\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_32126\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-32126\" style=\"width: 540px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/151214_SP500.png\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-32126\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/151214_SP500.png\" alt=\"The S&amp;P 500 (SPY) prints a classic &quot;hammer&quot; pattern as it rallies off its low of the day.\" width=\"550\" height=\"375\" class=\"size-full wp-image-32126\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/151214_SP500.png 550w, https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/151214_SP500-300x205.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-32126\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The S&#038;P 500 (SPY) prints a classic &#8220;hammer&#8221; pattern as it rallies off its low of the day.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_32127\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-32127\" style=\"width: 540px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/151214_VIX.png\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-32127\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/151214_VIX.png\" alt=\"The volatility index, the VIX, stops just short of the 2012 intraday high before ending the day DOWN 6.8%.\" width=\"550\" height=\"375\" class=\"size-full wp-image-32127\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/151214_VIX.png 550w, https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/151214_VIX-300x205.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-32127\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The volatility index, the VIX, stops just short of the 2012 intraday high before ending the day DOWN 6.8%.<\/figcaption><\/figure><br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n<p>The bad news is that, once again, the poor breadth of the market reared its head. While the S&#038;P 500 recovered for a small gain, T2108 closed with a loss. In other words, while the net result of the trading action left even more stocks in a worse technical condition, a few large stocks helped to push the S&#038;P 500 over the hump. This poor breadth generated an unconvincing bounce which longer term flashes warning signs to me.<\/p>\n<p>Two of those large stocks powering the index were Amazon.com (AMZN) and Netflix (NFLX). I traded the two as an offset in another attempt to try something a little different than the typical oversold trading strategy. AMZN ended up on the day with a cool 2.8% gain and only spent a very brief moment of time in the red. NFLX fared a lot worse during its selling but met a swell of buyers off critical 50DMA support.<\/p>\n<p>As I watched an early morning rally lose steam for AMZN, I decided to try a small and quick short. I watched as the stock eventually lost a quick 10 points&#8230;but I decided to hold even as the stock recovered (will likely be another hedge for making more aggressively bullish trades during the oversold period). On the daily chart, AMZN actually looks like it is topping. Before the strong close, the lower Bollinger Bands were creating a channel pointing downward that confirmed the bearishness of the previous day&#8217;s gap down.<\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_32128\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-32128\" style=\"width: 540px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/151214_AMZN.png\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-32128\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/151214_AMZN.png\" alt=\"Amazon.com (AMZN) is finally looking toppy: three weeks of distribution, a gap down on high selling volume, and  aa lower-BB trading channel that is teetering downward.\" width=\"550\" height=\"375\" class=\"size-full wp-image-32128\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/151214_AMZN.png 550w, https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/151214_AMZN-300x205.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-32128\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Amazon.com (AMZN) is finally looking toppy: three weeks of distribution, a gap down on high selling volume, and  aa lower-BB trading channel that is teetering downward.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_32129\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-32129\" style=\"width: 540px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/151214_AMZN-5min.png\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-32129\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/151214_AMZN-5min.png\" alt=\"Sellers rushed out the stock into a climax of selling volume right before lunch on the East Coast.
