With AT40 going oversold, I switched from neutral to cautiously bullish. The simple trade to make here is to fade a gap down at the open. Such a downward swoosh would greatly deepen oversold conditions, take the major indices to an unsustainable distance below their lower-BBs, perhaps drive the S&#038;P 500 into uptrending 200DMA support, and create an unsustainable surge in volatility. Market makers take out stops and then fear finally exhausts itself. During past oversold episodes I have looked to a gap down to wash out the last of the weak hands and motivated sellers that paves the way for the eager bargain hunters. Yet, the market seems to rarely cooperate neatly with such diabolical plans. If the market does oblige, I will back up the truck on SPY call options and dig deeper into my shopping list of individual stocks.<\/p>\n<p>I do not want a gap up on Friday. Such a move typically entices the selling at a higher point as the remaining motivated sellers look to sell what they were not able to sell in the previous panic. The simple trade for a gap up is simply to do nothing. In this scenario, I prefer to let buyers prove themselves by holding the close at or near the day&#8217;s highs alongside a lower VIX. I might even wait for oversold conditions to end.<\/p>\n<p>I had these two main scenarios in mind as I executed a few trades on the day per my <a href=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/t2108-resource-page\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">AT40 trading rules<\/a>. For example, I accumulated more put options on UVXY expiring at the end of next week. What goes up big comes down big. This was <a href=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/2018\/02\/06\/t2108-update-180206\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the lesson on Tuesday<\/a> when the last oversold period ended with UVXY gapping up near 30 and closing just above 15. Recall that day I cleared out all three of my UVXY put tranches with profits. I plan to continue the current cycle of put buying until the next implosion of volatility.<\/p>\n<p>With selling accelerating into the close, I started my switch to reduce bearish positions and increase bullish positions. I took profits on my put options on Caterpillar (CAT). The stock ended the day with a 5.4% loss and confirmed a 50DMA breakdown. I did not close any shares sold short. I also held onto my March put options on BHP Billiton (BHP) and will take profits on a gap down Friday. Some more housing plays filled with a doubling down on Meritage Homes (MTH) shares and call options. I added an SPY call option and even reached for call options on iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (EEM). EEM stretched well below its lower-Bollinger Band (BB) with a 3.5% loss. Support at its 200DMA already looms close.<\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_42596\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-42596\" style=\"width: 540px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/180208_EEM.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/180208_EEM.jpg\" alt=\"The iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (EEM) looks ready for a rendezvous with critical uptrending 200DMA support.\" width=\"550\" height=\"400\" class=\"size-full wp-image-42596\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-42596\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (EEM) looks ready for a rendezvous with critical uptrending 200DMA support.<\/figcaption><\/figure><br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n<p>My most interesting trade came on Apple (AAPL). AAPL started the day moving exactly opposite the market. AAPL had a high stakes fight with 200DMA support as it gapped up slightly and traded higher for a bit. Gravity eventually caught AAPL and sellers were just as ruthless to AAPL in the final 15 minutes as they were to the market at large. I set a limit order for a weekly call play for next week and grabbed a fistful of put options thinking AAPL had a lot more room for downside given the earlier stubbornness of buyers. Within minutes my put options doubled, and I locked in the profits per rule for quick profits. Those profits paid for the call options that triggered in the middle of the market&#8217;s accelerated selling. While AAPL is in bearish territory with another 200DMA breakdown and a topping pattern preceding this selling, I am betting that the stock has enough gas in the tank to at least mount one more defense of its 200DMA.<\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_42598\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-42598\" style=\"width: 540px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/180208_AAPL.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/180208_AAPL.jpg\" alt=\"The bearish breakdown for Apple (AAPL) continued with a confirmation of 200DMA resistance.

TWTR gapped higher and at one point was trading with a 30.1% gain. TWTR ended the day with a 12.2% gain. I cannot finger short-covering bears on this one as <a href=\"https:\/\/finance.yahoo.com\/quote\/TWTR\/key-statistics?p=TWTR\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the latest data show only 5.4% of TWTR&#8217;s float was sold short<\/a> ahead of earnings.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike SNAP, I was not patiently sitting on a position in TWTR. I took profits on my last position back in November, 2017. It did not even occur to me to make a new play on TWTR after it successfully tested 50DMA support at the end of January. I last wrote about TWTR in December, 2016 when <a href=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/2016\/12\/11\/twitter-as-a-trump-trade\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">I made the case for TWTR as a &#8220;Trump Trade.<\/a>&#8221; From there TWTR rallied into 2017, but it struggled for most of the rest of the year. It bottomed in April near $14.<\/p>\n<p>I did not want to chase TWTR here, so I made a very conservative trade by buying a calendar call spread at the $34 strike. The short end should easily expire on Friday and pay for half the long end. The net position will now only become profitable if TWTR manages a sharp turn-around from the deep fade off its post-earnings high.<\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_42600\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-42600\" style=\"width: 540px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/180208_TWTR.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/180208_TWTR.jpg\" alt=\"Twitter (TWTR) gapped higher to a new 2 1\/2 year high but failed to maintain buying interest into the close.\" width=\"550\" height=\"412\" class=\"size-full wp-image-42600\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-42600\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Twitter (TWTR) gapped higher to a new 2 1\/2 year high but failed to maintain buying interest into the close.<\/figcaption><\/figure><br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n<p><strong>First Solar<\/strong> (FSLR)<br \/>\nFSLR is symbolic of the euphoria that even started to infect me last month. <a href=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/2018\/01\/12\/t2108-update-180111\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">I gushed when FSLR hit a major milestone<\/a> by surging to a marginal 6+ year high.
