Here is a key quote from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-usa-markets-trump-analysis-idUSKBN16T2YH\" target=\"_blank\">a Reuters piece analyzing the market&#8217;s sentiment<\/a> (emphasis mine):<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Strategists have been cautioning for weeks that markets are pricing in a scenario where nothing goes wrong with Trump&#8217;s agenda. <strong>Investors are paying $18.10 for every dollar in earnings expected on the S&#038;P 500 over the next 12 months, near the most expensive U.S. stocks have been since 2004.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8216;This is really about the fact that the market is pricing in too much certainty on a number of accounts,&#8217; said Julian Emanuel, executive director of U.S. equity and derivatives strategy at UBS Securities. &#8216;Even if you got the positive vote, there&#8217;s still the residual knowledge that the agenda will be difficult to get through the Senate.'&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I am less concerned with the political analysis and much more interested in the market&#8217;s <strong>reaction<\/strong> to the headlines. Thursday could be a key tell&#8230;is the market&#8217;s on-going technical deterioration an early warning sign that something is a amiss in the general headlines of strident confidence in financial markets? Will the strongest stocks step into the breach and help move the major indices higher despite protests from the rest of the market? Will something catalyze a realignment to the upside and leave the low 30s on AT40 as the latest case of &#8220;close enough&#8221; to oversold? Amid these questions, my short-term trading call stays at bearish as the S&#038;P 500 remains below the low of the last breakout point around 2359.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, in the middle of this swoon, irony of ironies, Snap, Inc. (SNAP) is enjoying a mini-rally off its all-time low. After an analyst finally gave SNAP a positive grade, <a href=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/2017\/03\/21\/t2108-update-170320\/\" target=\"_blank\">I noted that SNAP looked like it may have finally bottomed<\/a>. I provided a condition for confirming the bottom with cushion, and SNAP made the grade today. It figures that while the rest of the stock market struggles, SNAP enjoys its best three days (on a relative basis) as a young stock. <\/p>\n<p>The day&#8217;s positive news came from brave analyst #2. This one outdid the first with a $30 price target. <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.barrons.com\/techtraderdaily\/2017\/03\/21\/snap-drexel-starts-at-buy-30-target-very-unique-company\/\" target=\"_blank\">From Barron&#8217;s<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Given the extremely low interest rate environment, and Snap\u2019s growth trajectory with millennials, mobile advertising and AR, we believe the stock is not overvalued. Moreover, we believe the Snapchat platform is valuable and thus this opens the company up as an acquisition target by leading tech players.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This is just a small snippet of an extended evaluation that Drexel Hamilton drenches with aspiration, optimism, and flexible relativism. I think the stage is being set for SNAP&#8217;s underwriters to initiate coverage next month with guns ablazing. While I am riding out this current run, I am looking for one more good short setup before the underwriters get to work.<\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_38671\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-38671\" style=\"width: 540px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/170322_SNAP.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/170322_SNAP.png\" alt=\"Snap, Inc.
