I was biased toward buying into the looming oversold conditions and particularly targeted the S&#038;P 500 (SPY) which was stretched well below its lower-Bollinger Band (BB). I bolstered my confidence with some key hedges.

The strong open only lasted 10 minutes before sellers stepped in. No doubt, this crowd was relieved to get the prices it felt it missed on Thursday and Friday. Sellers dominated the action for about 90 minutes. At that point buyers finally mounted a successful counter which took price above the previous down candle. Once the intraday downtrend broke, the buyers were off to the races.<\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_43203\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-43203\" style=\"width: 540px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/180326_SP500-5min.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/180326_SP500-5min.jpg\" alt=\"The S&amp;P 500 (SPY) popped, swooned, and then zoomed.\" width=\"550\" height=\"373\" class=\"size-full wp-image-43203\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-43203\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The S&#038;P 500 (SPY) popped, swooned, and then zoomed.<\/figcaption><\/figure><br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n<p>The yellow line represents Friday&#8217;s close where the S&#038;P 500 sat on top of 200DMA support. So once it looked like buyers changed the tide, it was a VERY dangerous time to stay bearish on the market. I decided to hold onto my SPY shares and call options. Intraday, I flipped call options in the likes of QQQ and Nvidia (NVDA). I covered my short in Equifax (EFX) right at the open but held onto all my other shorts as on-going hedges. For good measure I added call options to some of those positions like Caterpillar (CAT). I held onto my short position in iPath S&#038;P 500 VIX ST Futures ETN (VXX). <\/p>\n<p>The volatility index, the VIX, dropped 15.4% and closed at 21.0. So the fear gauge remains &#8220;elevated&#8221; (above 20). In other words, do not count out the sellers just yet even as it seems buyers so well defended 200DMA support on the S&#038;P 500.<\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_43204\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-43204\" style=\"width: 540px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/180326_VIX.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/180326_VIX.jpg\" alt=\"The volatility index, the VIX, erased Friday&#039;s gain with its gap down.

AT40 closed above Friday&#8217;s open and, given what I described in <a href=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/2018\/03\/25\/t2108-update-180323\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the last Above the 40 post<\/a>, my favorite technical indicator likely confirmed a bullish (albeit choppy) uptrend as it continues a recovery from February&#8217;s deeply oversold conditions. AT200 (T2107), the percentage of stocks trading above their respective 200DMAs, is still in the dangerzone with a close at 43.0%.<\/p>\n<p>I am still keeping the short-term trading call at neutral even though I am tempted to flip all the way to bullish with such an emphatically successful retest of 200DMA support. As I wrote in a previous post, I do not think it is useful to chase the current market churn with short-term trading calls. I will only change the call once\/if AT40 hits an important extreme. AT40 did not quite get to oversold, so the neutral rating is in deference to what I think will be continued choppy trading with abrupt twists and turns. The market&#8217;s new reality is government-driven headlines undermining the market&#8217;s mood at any time. This time just happened to be positive headlines about negotiations with China that could avert a trade war. In two more days, we could be hammered with headlines about failing negotiations. The main question remains the resiliency of investors through this chaotic period.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CHART REVIEWS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Microsoft<\/strong> (MSFT)<br \/>\nOn a day of astounding moves, MSFT stood astoundingly tall. Morgan Stanley delivered a shocker $130 price target with a prediction that MSFT would be the first trillion dollar company, ahead of all the usual suspects. Unlike other tech stocks, MSFT gapped up and never looked back. MSFT sliced right through its 50DMA and looks like a prime buy-the-dip candidate.
